Volunteering
A hand of Africa Foundation is an international
nonprofit organization. Is registered and work in
the Europe in the Netherlands. It has a local
partner’s organization which is working hand to
hands for the youth African development, and to save
the life’s of albinos in Tanzania and Burundi.
In Tanzania, Hands of Africa is working with
Tanzania albino center in Arusha, and in Moshi
Kilimanjaro is working with (HEMFA) Health and
Education Foundation for Albinism. Many of our
activity is design to support the minorities albinos
in Tanzania to improve their life. The whole world
understands the suffering of the albinos in Africa.
They are facing skin cancer, rejection in the
communities, and in the family, illiteracy, and now
the fear of being butchered with those who want
their body parties, for witch-craft use.
TAC hosts volunteers from countries across the
globe, provides accommodation and meals for them,
supports them as they transition into a new culture,
and arranges placements for them depending on their
skills and background. We welcome everyone to
volunteer with us, but also we have special need for
administrators, Eye visions nurse and doctors, skins
doctors, teachers, cancelling. These placements
include work in orphanages and schools. Volunteers
can come to Tanzania for as little as two weeks or
for as long as three months depend with the program.
TAC, provides financial support for albinos, and
community projects solely through the volunteer
program fees. The fees are used to cover the
following:
• Costs of daily operations
• Contributions to placements and community projects
• Special education program for albinos, which is
new in Tanzania. The program includes:
1.
Secondary education
2.
Vocation training, in the area of sewing, auto
mechanics, timber, and mansion.
TAC have target to support a number albinos
individuals and groups, and community service
projects. It does so at a ratio of 80/20 between
community projects and TAC initiatives,
respectively. TAC initiatives include, but are not
limited on community awareness, albino’s advocacy,
and continuing education and life skills for albinos
in Tanzania.
Through its long-term relationship with the
community and the volunteer placements, TAC is in a
unique position to work with volunteers and
community organizations to determine useful
community service projects. As the organization
grows, TAC will look to contribute in areas such as
education, basic sustenance, home-care, sports
programs, women’s groups and small entrepreneurial
projects. In all cases, TAC will require that some
investment be made by the receiving organization to
complement TAC contribution.
