Community Outreach

Village community outreach forums placements can include youth mentoring, HIV prevention and AIDS care, home visiting, sanitation and hygiene, public health, women's groups focusing on vocational skills and women's rights, and teaching modern organic farming methods in poor urban schools, painting, construction among others.

Community Outreach also includes home visits to elderly, disabled, and persons living with HIV/AIDS to keep company, offer relief, and assess needs.

A village placement is particularly appropriate for volunteers with great ideas and enthusiasm for grassroots development, the volunteer is attached to the local community organizations.
