Care for Africa
Seeks to empower communities with sustainable access to healthcare through its Rural School Health Clinic. Works with counterparts in Tanzania's Tarime region to share resources and knowledge and build capacity.
Overview
Join our international volunteer program.
Each year we select a group of volunteers for 4-6 weeks to work alongside our Tanzanian counterparts in remote Tarime, Tanzania. Volunteers join our health team and conduct the Rural School Health Clinics. If you are a Doctor, Nurse, Paramedic or Teacher we would love to hear from you! We also seek general volunteers who are keen to assist in the administration of the health clinics and have an eye for detail and enjoy collecting data.
Each year Care for Africa runs health clinics in the eight rural primary schools (list them here). The Rural School Health Clinics are run by our Tanzanian counterparts and Australian volunteers including doctors and nurses.
Our team triages, de-worms, assesses and manages referrals to other health facilities or specialised personnel for ongoing treatment. The clinics are run in the community schools, which provides an opportunity for children who might otherwise miss out on health care. Each year our eight Rural Health Care School clinics treats more than 5,000 children.
