About the project
TOSE Respite Care Home
📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Project in Brief:
Tose is a center for children with multiple and severe disabilities. The center provides respite care rehabilitation and training for caregivers. Tose is a Shona word that means together. We Together Overcome disabilities and Problems, share success and sorrows and encourage each other. Respite means rest. The home is unique in the sense that it offers relief to parents and guardians of the physical challenged as well as offering basic survival skills to the
disabled. Most of them are regarded by the society, institutions and hospitals as lost hope.
💼 What the programme involves
Scope of Work:
Tose is home for people with severe and multiple disabilities. It provides respite care, rehabilitation, and training for caregivers. The volunteers will work with the staff members at Tose to provide respite care as well as rehabilitation for the disadvantaged. The volunteers will also help in the garden, kitchen laundry and any specific request from the administration at Tose.
Working Schedule: Participants work around 8 hours a day from Monday to Friday. The lion’s
share of our volunteer placements does not require volunteers to work on public holidays and
weekends, unless highlighted or in the event of the need arising from the project.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Volunteers will be accommodated at Tose. Rooms will be available to individual volunteers. Volunteers with special needs like seniors/aged, families and physically challenged will have special arrangements for their accommodations.
🍲 Food
Basic meals will be provided from what is locally available in the local community. Volunteers are therefore advised to be flexible and open-minded. This will make it easy for them to negotiate their entry into the community.
⚠️ Requirements
Requirements: Tose is looking for volunteers with the following expertise, Physiotherapist,
Occupational Therapist, Speech Therapist, IT Specialist, Fundraising Strategist
🤝 Meeting point
Arrival and Orientation: Volunteers will be picked up from the Airport or regional bus station
in on request. They will be transferred to any lodge in town of their choice. Two-day orientation
will be organized in close collaboration with the volunteers and ZWA staff. The main objective of
the orientation is to minimize the effects of cultural shock as well as to build capacities for the
volunteers, so as to meet the community with open mind.
ℹ️ Additional information
Expectations from Projects: Volunteer projects take place in very humble places around Zimbabwe. The bulk of our projects are not that difficult at all, what is only needed is flexibility, positive mentally attitude as well as openness to new culture, new experience. The secret remedy to, make the most of your time while volunteering in Zimbabwe is to adapt to the local environment. It important to highlight each and every project is unique, hence volunteers should
make the most of their time with the community they serve, since this is a chance of a life time, to work and live with people in their respective communities, just like them.
