Vision

The Vision of MACAO is to empower communities to change their behaviors towards their cultures and traditions which cause the spread of HIV AIDS, Malaria, TB, and other illnesses.

Welcome to MACAO

• MACAO stands for the Malezi AIDS Care Awareness Organization.
• MACAO works in Northern Tanzania.
• MACAO is an organization which works voluntarily. It is a non-profit sharing, non-governmental organization and a non-sectional and interdenominational organization with no gender discrimination.
• MACAO gives care and support to people with HIV/AIDS and their relatives in Northern Tanzania including medical care, clothing, food and counseling for behavior change. We also offer counseling in regard to Malaria, TB and environmental care.

We hope that this website will help you learn more about MACAO, the community we serve, our programs and how volunteers can work and support this organization.

Our Philosophy

MACAO believes that nobody should ever think that he or she is totally independent such that he/ she does not need help from others or is excused from the task of helping others. In fact, people from all walks of life make the most of their achievements when they work together for a common good. Therefore, MACAO believes that Hospitality differs from social entertaining. The common social entertaining focuses on the well prepared good-natured home of the host, whereas Hospitality focuses on the needy guest. The needs of the needy guest � whether it is a place to stay, food a listening ear or acceptance � are the primary concerns.

Furthermore MACAO believes that needy people are central to any process of hospitality and therefore encourages it to happen without feeling tired, too busy or not wealthy enough to help. This kind of Hospitality can be sourced from both of our material and intellectual possessions as long as they do help needy seekers to access resources and opportunities for prosperity and personal fulfillment expressed in the forms of love, Joy and peace.
