HIV and AIDS related issues are a world wide problem which is threatening the entire human population. There are many NGOs taking up this issue and working to tackle this problem. Each NGO adapts different methods; some work in promoting awareness whereas other NGOs work directly with people who are infected with and affected by HIV/AIDS.

The work is varied and will involve assisting the NGOs in their programmes. The work would predominantly be awareness raising and not practical work with AIDS patients. In these organizations, volunteers will be required to help and give counselling, to work in hospitals or homes by treating patients, participating in daily care and also to provide education and social activities.
