The Maun Homeopathy Project
Healing for Strength and Survival
MHP is a registered charity (No. 1109958) founded by Hilary Fairclough and Philippa Brewster in 2002:
* establishing a permanent and free homeopathic service for women, men and children living with HIV and AIDS and/or traumatised by rape in Maun, Botswana
* working in partnership with agencies in the local community
* offering holistic care to people suffering from illness, trauma, grief and stigma
* travelling light with a mobile clinic providing an outreach service for those most in need
* recruiting and supporting local people to train in homeopathy to an internationally recognised standard
A Community in Crisis
Since 2002, The Maun Homeopathy Clinic has been running free homeopathy outreach clinics in Maun, a fast growing town in the north of Botswana, where over 35% of the people are infected with HIV or AIDS, one of the highest rates in the world.
We are now recruiting for volunteers to work in Maun for 6 - 12 week stretches. The clinics, which treat people living with HIV and/or traumatised by rape, are firmly established in the community and the work we continue to do is challenging, rewarding and often inspiring. In Maun you would be involved in providing a service that makes a huge difference to individuals, seeing lives turned around and treating serious pathology which we rarely see in our private practices. It is an intense professional and personal development opportunity. Our best testament is that homeopaths who've already been there go back for more!
We have recently recruited 3 local people to be trainees in homeopathy. The School of Homeopathy in Devon has donated us places for them on their Distance Learning Course. We think this is an important and exciting development leading towards sustainability of the Project and contributing towards the creation of a firm homeopathic base in Botswana. If you decided to volunteer, your role would therefore involve supporting the trainees who will be interpreting in the clinics as part of their apprenticeship learning, and running weekly tutorials for them.
The charity does its utmost to prepare you before you go by running induction days, and to support you while you are there by providing personal telephone supervision from dedicated volunteer homeopath supervisors in the UK. You would also get regular telephone management support. Further there are key people in Maun who support the homeopaths when they are there.
At the moment we ask that volunteers pay for their own air fare which costs between £650 - £850 depending on the time of year. In the future we hope to have funds available to contribute towards your flight but meanwhile we would support you in an fundraising you might need to do before going. The charity pays for all your living expenses while you are there.

Recruiting Volunteer Homeopaths for Mid April – End 2008
This is fantastic opportunity to be part of the Maun Homeopathy Project. We are looking for volunteers for 2008, specifically at the following times:
Mid April - end August
End Sept - end December
You will need to be able to volunteer for at least six weeks.
It's an exciting time to do this rewarding work in Botswana, alongside the existing clinics and outreach work, there are new clinics starting. Working with this community gives a unique opportunity to practice as a homeopath, and gain a wide and varied experience.
We are also now training local homeopaths, and incorporated in your responsibilities will be support for these trainees on a daily basis, and the continuation of the programme of weekly tutorials.
