The Experience

We usually receive just 1 volunteer a time, hence this is only something for you if you are very independent! You will foremost get meaningful and authentic connections with our local team and communities. Out of experience we can say that you won't really get much work done in Uganda as we also want you to soak in the culture and experience it fully. Hence why most of the time the "volunteer" part is done before or after the trip and exists of the "online volunteer taks". All of the work that has to be done in Uganda is done by our local staff. However, they are of course always happy for an extra helping hand. Our local team are enthusiastic to learn new skills and love exchanging stories so that you both get a better understanding of each others culture!

Volunteering in Uganda is still a very valuable experience for both you and the organisation, as you will become our ears and eyes. You will be visiting our families in their homes, visit the children in school, take pictures, conduct interviews and depending on your skills monitor and evaluate our projects. We also love if you can share your skills through workshops with our team. A workshop could be anything from computer lessons, to homework help, a female hygiene class or what about teaching our girls your latest dancing moves? We leave it to our local team to decide what their community needs most, taking your skills into account. Your work on the ground is very meaningful, in particular with regards to story-telling as it will help us with fundraising for our projects and getting new long-term sponsors in for the kids.
