A truly unique opportunity for Volunteers!

Are you fed up of mundane life and want to experience something unique to help disadvantaged children in Africa? Are you dreaming about adventure of your life, living in rich natural environment among rural community of Africa! Here is the opportunity you have been awaiting!

Introduction of Islamic Help

Islamic Help is a UK registered charity and international NGO established in 2003 by a group of young people determined to make a difference to the lives of those afflicted by poverty and suffering. Islamic Help is non-patrician and believes in serving afflicted humanity irrespective of cast, color, nationality or religion.

Please read more at http://www.islamichelp.co.tz/

Orphans in Africa

The HIV/AIDS epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa has orphaned a generation of children – and now seems set to orphan generations more. Today, over 25 million children under the age of 15 living in sub-Saharan Africa have been robbed of one or both parents by HIV/AIDS. Tragically, the number of orphans in sub-Saharan Africa will continue to rise in the years ahead, due to the high proportion of Sub-Saharan African adults already living with HIV/AIDS and the continuing difficulties in expanding access to life-prolonging anti-retroviral treatment. But, it is not inevitable that these children should be left to suffer twice, denied their rights because they are orphaned.

The Tanzanian Ministry of Health and Social Welfare estimates that there are 2.5 million orphans and vulnerable children in Tanzania, of which only about 6% receive external support. In most cases these orphans are passed over from one relative to other and at the end are left to mend for herself/himself or serving as house maid. There is an urgent need to increase access to and improve the quality of essential support services for orphan and vulnerable children. These essential services include, shelter; nutrition supplements; education and health; and psycho-social counseling.

Children Eco Village:

VACANCY NO.: Job ID 2694

CLOSING DATE: 3 November 2014 (5.00 p.m. New York time)

POST TITLE: Programme Manager, Reproductive Health Commodity Security

(RHCS)

CATEGORY: ICS-10 (equivalent to P-3)

POST NUMBER: 95967

DUTY STATION: Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania

POST TYPE: Non-Rotational

DURATION: One year (renewable)[i]

ORGANIZATIONAL UNIT: East and Southern Africa Regional Office (ESARO)

****BACKGROUND INFORMATION****

The United Nations Commission on Life-Saving Commodities for Women and Children (UNCoLSC), created under the auspices of the Secretary-General’s Every Woman Every Child initiative, is a high-level commission to advocate for the increased availability, affordability and accessibility of 13 essential but underutilized supplies for maternal and child health. ww.lifesavingcommodities.org

Availability of affordable medicines, contraceptives and other health supplies is an essential part of well-functioning equitable health systems. The Commission’s task is to help ensure access to these critical supplies to save lives and improve the health of women, children and young people. The Commission estimated that an ambitious scaling up of these 13 commodities over five years would cost less than US$2.6 billion and would cumulatively save over 6 million lives including 230,000 maternal deaths averted through increased access to family planning. This would catalyse an accelerating reduction in deaths for women and children. Achieving these goals would save an extra 1.8 million child deaths a year, reducing the estimated 7.1 million deaths in 2010 to 5.3 million. Likewise, the estimated 287,000 maternal deaths in 2010 would be reduced to 213,000 by increased access to maternal health and family planning commodities. The estimated costs per lives saved are low and represent excellent global development investments. Thus, the scaling up of these commodities is not solely a moral obligation but one of the most effective ways of getting more health for the money invested.
