Medical - Education

Central Asia Male Health Educator
Categories: Medical - Education | KFA - Muslim Peoples | KFA - Relief and Development | Medical - Health Worker
Start Date: January 2014
Commitment Length: 2-3 years

HIV/ AIDS is increasing in Central Asia. We need men to get the word out to other men before it is too late.

Poverty in rural Central Asia drives many men to seek work in Russia for months or years at a time. Although labor migration ensures economic survival of many rural families, its long-term consequences are horrific – the current increases in family breakdown and substance abuse and especially the rising rate of HIV infection can all be directly linked to labor migration.

Our development organization’s projects take a holistic approach to health education, addressing the facts related to sexual health, HIV infection and other health issues within a moral framework where deeper issues are also addressed.

In traditional Central Asian culture, such subjects are normally discussed in single sex groups. As a result, our development organization urgently needs men with a health background and training gifts who can lead community-based health education projects aimed at men.
