| Mother and Infant Health Program |
This project require a lot of intiative and resourfulness. As life in Burkina Faso is quite different from what you are used to here, your ability to adapt to a new environment will be essential.
This program is specifically for interns who are concerned about the health of mothers and children and would like to work in this field. The program does not require any previous experience or training, however, volunteers should be motivated and willing to take the initiative. Local professionals will assist the interns at all times. Interns will participate in outreach and awareness programs on family planning, general hygiene, water and food sanitation, HIV/AIDS and STD (sexually transmitted diseases). These outreach campaigns will take place at local health centers and within the local community.
