Volunteering in Uganda - New

Volunteer in Uganda and help to get this exciting project off the ground. With ever increasing numbers of children arriving at this small rural school, extra hands, eyes and ideas for activities are always needed to help maintain order, fun and learning! Volunteering in Uganda could vary from taking a class, assisting the local teacher, organising drawing or painting activities (bring all materials from home with you), fun outdoor games and sport. Whatever your contribution however small your voluntary work in Uganda will make a difference even if only helping at meal times and supervising the children playing outside. Come and volunteer in Uganda!

If you would like to get stuck in, are resourceful and would like the freedom and flexibility to try out your own ideas, voluntary work in Uganda is for you. No teaching or childcare experience is needed to be a successful volunteer on this project. Volunteers are needed to bring energy and activity ideas for the children between the ages of 4 and 8 years old. Teaching basic numbers, spelling, English, art and craft, sport and other fun games will be most appreciated.

The project is on site so no travelling is needed to volunteer each day.

Accommodation is comfortable basic typical African accommodation for the region in shared African style huts. Local project staff provide support and advice.

Spend your free time visiting the untouched tropical rainforest or a trip at the end of your stay Gorilla tracking in the Bwindi national park.
