Volunteers work at orphanages, clinics, hospitals as well as primary and secondary schools.
The projects where our volunteers work have little or no resources and would find it difficult to operate without volunteer assistance.
The daily schedules and activities for volunteers are determined by the volunteer with assistance of their project supervisor upon arrival.
Accommodation is arranged with local families. Volunteer Work in Uganda OrphanagesUganda Volunteers working in orphanages will usually help with feeding, organizing play, arts and crafts, hygiene and HIV/AIDS education. Volunteers may help with administrative work such as preparing budgets, writing proposals, setting up and maintaining personal files for the children. Volunteer Teaching in UgandaThe school where volunteers teach normally experience high levels of staff shortages due to inadequate resources and under funding. They are also usually attended by orphaned and underprivileged children. That is why volunteers are very much needed here.
