My Volunteer Placement in Tanzania

I will be working with an NGO (Non-Governmental Organization) called TAFCOM, whose main purpose is HIV/AIDS prevention and education, as well as providing care and support for people living with HIV/AIDS. This is an issue close to my heart and I am delighted to be able to work with them!!!!

From what I understand, they need skills and knowledge related to grant writing, fundraising, etc. so that they can raise funds to continue their community efforts. If any of you out there have experience in this area, I would love to hear from you! I will be researching grant writing strategies post-haste.

I will also be working with the TAFCOM staff on outreach programs for HIV/AIDS prevention projects in the local communities.

Hi Kimberly,

I used to be in corporate fundraising and write grants for the Orange County Performing Arts Center in CA. Let me know what you need and I will give you any advice I may have. Have a great time - Tanzania is beautiful but dusty so be prepared.
