for 25 – 30 hours per week in our office in Salzburg (hybrid)
Austrian Doctors is a globally active Austrian aid organization founded in Salzburg in 2008. Our focus is on medical aid and education and we are committed to helping people regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, social status, religion, nationality or political opinion. We help people in need in “chronic crisis areas” who have no access to medical care, education and basic life resources.
Our medical work includes both direct health care and prevention through hygiene training, health education and protection programs for women and children. In Bangladesh, we operate both a fixed clinic and a “mobile clinic”, which travels to a different poor area of the capital Dhaka every day. Volunteer doctors from Austria and Europe support the permanently employed local medical staff. The medical work also includes structural measures such as the construction of wells.
Almost 3,000 schoolchildren attend the schools we support every day, where they not only receive an education but also a nutritious meal. For many children, this is unfortunately the only hot meal of the day. Through school and training projects as well as scholarships, we give children and adults prospects for the future and the chance to lead a self-determined life. Training and further education strengthen economic independence, while environmental projects such as reforestation and renewable energies help to secure livelihoods in the long term.
We work closely with local partners in all our projects. This long-term cooperation enables sustainable developments that last for decades and secure a better future for local people.
