Opportunity Description:
VOLUNTEER POSITIONS
? Volunteers will participate in Child Care Programs, Assist our Health Centers with health services, assist our communities at their health centers because we have health centers that are not still running because the government is not doing much to maintain the centers running, and so we believe that volunteers can help rehabilitate, provide health equipments and manage the health center in support of the community people. We also have HIV/AIDS programs in the communities and we would love to have some health workers to help us in volunteering in our HIV/AIDS programs by sensitizing and taking care of the HIV/AIDS patients. Eye, teeth, ear specialists are needed and we do not have a health center for these cases. We would love to have one health center in one of our communities rehabilitated where all of these services can take place, so that our people in other communities can benefit from there since we cannot build health centers everywhere as volunteers, having just one will be very helpful to so many communities.
? Many rural communities do not have enough health personnel while there are so many of them trained out there who do not have work. LWDGC works in close collaboration with some of these communities and is able to place health volunteers in these communities who with the aim of providing a lasting contribution to the sector in the relevant community.
? We have community development projects like water projects, construction of health centres, nursery and primary schools, bridge constructions, community hall construction, orphanage centre constructions, library supplies, computer and internet centre supplies etc?

NKUV HEALTH CENTER REHABILIATION:
? Here we need people to help us rehabilitate a health center that has been abandoned by the government; the local commuinty is finding it very difficult to rehabilitate this health center because of lack of finance and equipment. We would like to have health volunteers who can help bring back this health center to life and manage it for the community. The community lost so many of its population, especially children under five, because of lack of closer medical attention. Pregnant women deliver their children on the way hiking to the nearest city, some of these women have their babies on the way, and some lost their babies because of tiredness and hard labor without any healthcare. Patients die in this community because they lack medical care, some die on their way up the hills hiking etc? If we can have some volunteers who can renew this health center and equipe it with the medical equipment to be able to recieve and treat the patients, we would be very happy. We need nurses, doctors, and other health practitioners as volunteers interested in health domain to work in this health and other health centers in other communities.. He/she shall live there and feeding is subsidizes. We would also like to have a training program for nurses, you can teach there.
