Volunteering in Uganda

We've created better education and health services, and raised incomes for many thousands of people throughout Uganda, all thanks to our amazing volunteers. Help us achieve more. 

Volunteering in Uganda

Education volunteer Janice Ann Perez brought her expertise in child-centred teaching to assess the needs of primary schools across Karamoja, Northern Uganda.

Whilst today Uganda is at peace, with a growing economy and population, decades of civil war left a legacy of poverty it is still working to overcome. 

Family is central to the Ugandan culture and that goes for our staff and volunteers too – we look out for each other.

We're urgently looking for people with a range of backgrounds including health, education and business. If you think you could be part of the change we are creating, please do get in touch.
