Volunteering
Are you ready for a longer commitment?
If you have the time available to commit to work with us for longer (a minimum of six weeks, maximum 3 months) we would be delighted to have you!
We welcome you at any level, whether you are a well established professional or a beginner who wants to learn more and gain confidence, speed and knowledge. Regardless of your level, our team is here to guide and support you.
Those, who have already done the 2-week Professional Development Program with us are welcome for a shorter visit, from 2 weeks - 3 months.
During the initial weeks we will familiarise you with case taking in an African setting and introduce you to the key HIV/AIDS remedies we use. We highly recommend that you study Jeremy’s course on Epidemics beforehand, as the numbers of AIDS-cases are rising, and we have a very busy new HIV/AIDS-outreach clinic.
Our clinic locations include a variety of settings from hospitals to rural villages and the Maasai, which is a 2-day trip away in the Maasai land.
The volunteering experience with HHA is incredibly rewarding and will expand your homoeopathic knowledge, confidence and case taking skills. You will also gain extra benefits from being able to see your own follow-ups and results.
We currently run 18 outreach clinics and you will have a chance to treat approx. 50 -70 patients per week.
This is a unique chance to support and be part of our work in Tanzania and to experience life in Africa!

Tanzania doesn’t require any travel vaccinations unless you have spent time in some other African countries prior to Tanzania, in which case you will need a Yellow fever vaccination. Please email us if you have any further queries.

Very easy. Arusha national park is 1,5h away with lots of animals, but not the big 5.
Tarangire and Lake Manyara national parks are 4 hours from Moshi. Ngorongoro 6h drive. We can connect you with reputable safari companies, such as Tanzania Journeys.
You can easily go on safari on Friday and be back Sunday night.
Depending on your level of accommodation it will cost you 550$-1200$ including park fees.

Zanzibar is a one-hour flight away. There are flights (Air Tanzania) early in the morning and return late at night, so you can maximize your time. Return flight costs around 350$.

I recently had the good fortune and privilege to volunteer with Homeopathy for Health in Africa (HHA).
I really enjoyed the opportunity to observe Jeremy and Camilla taking cases. I hadn’t had much experience in treating HIV/AIDS in the USA and found their work groundbreaking and yet straight forward Homoeopathy! I also enjoyed the varied types of outreach projects (a hospital in the mountainous region, a boarding school for highly traumatized children, home visits for people of a local tribe, as well a remote Maasai village).
I also was very impressed with the homeopathic skills of the African women who have been educated by HHA and who are the backbone of this project. I encourage anyone who wants to experience practicing Homeopathy in a different setting/culture other than a private or group practice to spend time in Tanzania with the HHA project .
