CUP OF UJI ( PORRIDGE) INITIATIVE IN TANZANIA
Cup of Uji Tanzania is an initiative that provides a free cup of porridge in schools with children from poor backgrounds. Most of the children stay in school because this is the only meal they will get.
Your USD 10 can help feed a needy child who goes to school hungry for a month. Be a part of the change by helping keep these children in school.

1 - EDUCATION
Volunteer English/mathematics teachers are needed at this placement to provide English /mathematics lessons to children in Moshi. Learning how to speak English /mathematics is a very important skill set for a child in order to obtain many of the more desirable and better paying jobs in future.
GROUP VOLUNTEERING SUMMER 2019
We run an international teacher assistant volunteer program that helps the teachers and children of the rural and Urban schools of Moshi Municipal and surrounding schools.
There is a great need for help at the schools for teacher’s assistants during the week and at YAAPHA for weekend programs (optional). The helpers do not necessarily have to be teachers or teacher students, but it will be to a great advantage if they are.
2 - HEALTH & HYGIENE
A health and hygiene assistance volunteer at this placement is required to help out with raising awareness
about the causes, effects and prevention of HIV/AIDS and the transmission and treatment of HIV/AIDS.
Health and hygiene assistance volunteers will assist with the education, as well as the care of youth who are
affected by the HIV/AIDS pandemic through "home based care" and conducting public youth group educational sessions.
3 - CONSTRUCTION & SUSTAINABILITY
YAAPHA is looking for construction and maintenance support volunteers to help us in many areas of renovating and construction at the center, since we have many unfinished building projects that
are left hanging as the result of lack of funding.
YAAPHA appreciates any kind of support that construction and maintenance support volunteers can contribute to the center. Be it a complete project from beginning to end or continuation of some project this ongoing or left at a certain stage of completion due to lack of funds.

Dental medicine assistant volunteers may also be expected to provide dental care to the people in the surrounding communities.

Farming Assistant Volunteers work with organizations, schools and communities to build and maintain community gardens and to assist with the promotion of agricultural initiatives.
General farming tasks often include sloughing, planting, irrigation and harvesting but volunteers may also assist with briquette stoves, solar stoves, sustainable construction or other community-based projects.
10- MEDICAL DOCTOR ASSISTANCE
St.Joseph Hospital is one of the big hospital in Moshi Town and treats all medical conditions for patients.
The medical staff at the hospital are overworked due to lack of personnel and this is especially true in the number of qualified doctors on staff. Therefore, the workload is tremendous and
any doctor who can volunteer his/her services for whatever time possible would be making a great contribution to the medical care of the Tanzanian people.
