Program Description

Working with a HIV/AIDS organization in Gambia

Description

MondoChallenge is working with a local partner organisation in the Gambia dedicated to People Living With HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). Allatentu Support Kafoo (ASK) seeks to improve the lives of PLWHA and raise awareness of the conditions through skills development, fundraising and income generating activities.

Volunteers are working alongside its staff to help in many aspects of the organisation. This includes administration systems, project management and proposals and reports writing to international institutions such as UNAIDS and the Global Funds.

In each country we have a local manager. We are very careful over security and health issues, and upon arrival you will be met at the airport by our manager and taken through an induction and to your placement to settle in.
