HIV / AIDS Volunteer Project in Ecuador
Our program is designed to collaborate and participate in
health clinics, non-profit organizations or government agencies
working with this devastating HIV/AIDS disease. As a volunteer,
you can assist in developing sexual health education, promote
prevention programs and training seminars for groups like
lay health professionals and sex trade workers. In addition,
you can assist in the medical and psychological attention
and antiretroviral therapy programs. There are also opportunities
to provide comfort and support directly to patients, their
families and the community. You can make visits to hospices
and medical facilities, which really provides you with a sense
of the personal side of this disease.
Project Location
Our project is located in Quito, Ambato,
Otavalo, Ibarra and Cuenca
