Volunteer Africa (UK, 1097963) Browse events

Volunteer Africa is unlike other volunteering organisations. We are run by a team of committed returned volunteers with the dual aims of enabling people to make a difference to the lives of rural Africans and to raise funds for our partner NGOs. Volunteer Africa does not spend any money on paid advertising and our operating costs are minimal meaning that the money you pay to participate is spent in Africa enabling community development. Volunteers participate in our programmes from all over the world including Denmark, Brazil, Mexico, Ireland, Canada, US, UK, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia and Hong Kong. Volunteers come from all walks of life and ages. Applications are welcome throughout the world. Volunteer Africa has worked with HAPA in Singida since 2002, the two organisations being successors to the highly successful HPA (Health Projects Abroad) programme that started in Singida in 1996. Volunteers work alongside villagers on community-initiated building projects. Past projects have included health dispensaries, school classrooms, pit latrines, homes for teachers and medical staff. Volunteers live in camp conditions in the village. Where possible we aim to place people in a group of volunteers but this is not always possible. You are fully supported during your time in the village by HAPA staff backed up by Volunteer Africa. The conditions are tough and most villages we work in do not have electricity or running water. The project for 2013 is We are planning to support school construction at a village called IKIWU at Kijota ward and Mtinko Division. At that village they have established a new school with three classes yet roofed. The village has six harmlets known as Nkwae, Muungano,Nambaro, Matundi and Mburi. Total population 4600. There is only one primary school that is hosting a total of 743 pupils using seven teachers. Most of the pupils walk about six kilometres to school and then six kilometers home again. The school seem to be conjested so have approached HAPA for support. So we are proposing to support this community for year 2013. There there will be more project to support including pit latrines, staff houses to work on so lots to do in 2013.

Africa Oxford Cancer Foundation (UK, 1131562) Browse events

  Cancer already causes more deaths each year worldwide than HIV/AIDS, TB and malaria combined. By 2020 there are expected to be 16 million new cases of cancer every year, 70 per cent of which will be in developing countries, which are least prepared to address the growing cancer burden. THE TIME TO TAKE ACTION IS NOW. African countries are the least able of all developing countries to cope, having few cancer care services. Lack of resources and basic infrastructure mean that most Africans have no access to cancer screening, early diagnosis, treatment or palliative care. Consequently a diagnosis of cancer leads, in most cases, to a painful and distressing death. AfrOx is currently working on a range of programmes in Ghana. Our programme priorities in Ghana include:   - Support for national cancer care planning. - Provision of training and education for healthcare staff. - Improvement in palliative care. - The early diagnosis and treatment of cancer. - Raising public awareness of the early signs of cancer and methods of cancer prevention.   For more information about our work, please visit our website: www.afrox.org   AfrOx believes that by forging alliances of individuals, NGOs and governments to share expertise, technology, training and a degree of philanthropic support, much could be done to help reduce global disparities in cancer care.  We hope that you will work together with us to achieve this goal.
