Gerontology Internship in Africa

Työtehtävän kuvaus Summary

Art in Tanzania supports and develops services for the growing older adults in the African village.

Details

Older people in Tanzania are culturally highly appreciated, and they will stay with their families rather than live alone. However, better medical care, nutrition, and living conditions have made people live longer.

Nevertheless, Tanzania lacks social services for the elderly, and essential supportive services, especially for low-income families, are urgently needed.

The gerontology intern will perform tasks as follows.

Advocating public health topics such as common elder society illnesses, nutrition, etc

Assisting in conducting health checks when needed

Physiotherapy type of training and exercises

Assisting in organising the typical daily tasks

Creating daily hobbies and other mentally empowering activities

Other tasks that the student is capable of bringing into the placement task

We look for innovation. Interns get the ideas we seek to strengthen the fieldwork. We encourage innovation and self-led creativity in the professional program approach.

Academic-level team leaders are supervising your internship daily. In addition, we monitor your work with a weekly plan and report system to ensure you proceed well in your study program.

The internship outcome is learning to use and get experience to implement your education in developing country conditions with limited capacity. Also, to better understand the opportunities in a fast-growing economy.

Work hours are 6-8 hours per day, Monday through Friday. Your program can be from 2 weeks up to 12 months.

The program is ongoing, and we can adjust your start dates. We accept the applications of all students and alumni. Your placement is tailored to your background, experience, and interests to empower our daily work with the communities.

The start and end dates are flexible and accommodate other travel arrangements in Tanzania.

You and your visiting friends can enjoy low-cost, sustainable tours and safaris.
