"I'm sure when I ponder my life experiences, during the twilight of my years, I will regard my six weeks in Thailand as six of the most sensational weeks of my life... I traveled to Thailand hoping for an enriching experience. What I found exceeded my wildest expectations."

Gift Options


Youth HIV/AIDS and Health Education
A gift of HIV/AIDS and health education will provide essential education for a youth so they will be equipped with the skills and knowledge necessary to prevent HIV/AIDS. Young men and women are the future of Tanzania, therefore, it is imperative that their health and well-being be preserved. Surveys make it clear that programs are needed that move youth from awareness and knowledge to actual behavior change.

In response to the need for training in life skills such as communication, relationships, decision-making, and goal setting in order to help translate knowledge into behavior change, Global Service Corps conducts an annual two-week long HIV/AIDS Prevention, Health and Life Skills Day camp for approximately 300 secondary school students. After camp, students are trained to be peer educators so they can continue to educate their fellow students. GSC staff provides support and follow up to ensure the success of health clubs. 
  • Support follow-up of health club activities in schools including providing supplemental educational materials (US$10)
  • Send one student to day camp for two weeks (US$30) 
  • Provide voluntary counseling and testing for 200 students at their school (US$50) 
  • Support peer education activities such as talent and art competitions (US$100)
  • Fund an entire peer educator training workshop for 20 students (US$500)

Sack Garden for a family affected by HIV/AIDS
A gift of a sack garden is a sustainable way to provide a family affected by HIV/AIDS access to proper nutrition including green vegetables. A sack garden is a type of urban garden that is used for people with limited living space and/or for people with limited physical strength to take care of a traditional garden. In this regard, a sack garden is ideal for a person living with HIV/AIDS since it takes minimal effort to care for.

Your gift of a sack will alleviate the problems many people with HIV have in obtaining nutritious foods.
  • Seeds and sacks for 5 gardens (US$10) 
  • Training to family in sack gardening (US$30) 
  • Gift of sack gardens for an HIV positive support group ($100)

Home garden for an orphanage
A gift of a home garden is a way for orphanages to become more self-reliant. Many orphanages in Tanzania live hand to mouth counting on small, sporadic donations in order to cover costs of housing, food, clothing, and education for their children. Establishing an organic home garden for an orphanage will not only provide children with the proper nutrition they need but will also serve to train those old enough with gardening skills they can carry with them throughout life. 
  •   Seeds for a garden (US$20)
  •   Wheelbarrow, watering can, shovel, hoe for a garden ($100)
  •   Provision of an entire home garden for one orphanage ($200)

Chicken vaccination project
A gift of vaccinating chickens against Newcastle Disease will provide a family with increased nutrition and sources of income. Each year Newcastle Disease kills 70% of the chicken population in Tanzania. Since chickens are the livestock of the poor and vulnerable including children, this disease has a major impact of the lives and well-being of a large portion of the population. In 2009, GSC will launch a project called “Catch That Chicken” which will focus on vaccinating chickens against this disease. Vaccination will allow chickens to live longer thereby producing more eggs and growing to a larger size for consumption. The goal of this project is to ultimately increase the nutrition and income of the most vulnerable whose livelihood comes from chickens.
  • Vaccinate a flock of 20 chickens (US$10) 
  • Provide a community training workshop on nutrition, health, and Avian Influenza (US$50) 
  • Vaccinate chickens in an entire village (US$100) 
  • Provide a bicycle for a community vaccinator (US$200)
