Since January 2018 You & Ghana has been an official partner of WAAF. Next to counseling and guiding people with HIV/Aids, WAAF goes on outreach to test and inform people about HIV/Aids within large companies, but also in the remote villages. Meanwhile, it is not only HIV that WAAF focuses on. They also focus on tuberculosis, because this often occurs in combination with HIV/ Aids.
At WAAF you will work together with the nurse or doctor at the clinic and during outreaches. WAAF has various projects aimed at specific target groups, for example, the Prevent Mother To Child Transmission (PMTCT) where pregnant women are closely monitored during their pregnancy. Think of i.e. starting the medication on time, so that there is a good chance that the child will enter this world healthy.
Your working day will be average from 8 am till 3 pm, so you can travel to the clinic from the house by daylight.
On a day at the clinic, you'll join the nurse or doctor and your shift will start with a small meeting to discuss the daily program
When you're staying in Accra there are many places to visit for lunch, dinner or just a drink.
Visit the beach, go for some historical information about Accra during a walking tour in Jamestown etc.
