Health
The health project was begun in 2000 in order to promote healthy behaviors among rural Tanzanians. Health volunteers live in rural communities and work closely with NGOs, community health centers, and local schools. Examples of health volunteer work includes initiating women's groups to promote better health and childcare, holding demonstrations on sexual health, and furthering the Tanzanian governments' campaigns for HIV testing and anti-malarial bednets.
