Description:
| TCE (Total Control of the Epidemic) is a Humana People to People program to fight AIDS in Southern Africa. In it´s conception it is based on the experiences of more than 20 years of development work in and with the communities of the region.
In the year 2000, TCE has been awarded with the "AGFUND International Prize for Pioneering Development Projects" (AGFUND: Arab Gulf Programme for United Nations Development Organizations).
HIV/AIDS in Southern Africa is out of control. 26 million people in these area are HIV positive, 10 million children have already lost one or both parents to AIDS. A situation that can only be managed in a great act of international solidarity.
In Botswana between 35 and 40 percent of people in the sexually active age group are infected, the highest rate in the world today. TCE (TCM) has been adopted by the government of the country to fight against the epidemic. The results so far are promising, and more and more countries in the region have become interested.
We need volunteers, people with good will and a lot of energy to take part in the fight against AIDS in Africa.
The program takes 11 months:
4 months of intensive training at one of our Traveling Folk High Schools ;
6 months of work in Botswana, Mozambique or Zimbabwe ;
1 month of project evaluation back at the school and information work in USA or Europe.
After the program, different opportunities of long term work with Humana People to People are available.
