Amazing Volunteer Programs in Uganda

Kitara Foundation’s Uganda Volunteer Program offers the BEST way to TRAVEL and EXPLORE Destination Uganda in an AFFORDABLE manner. 

The program gives you an opportunity to contribute to social, economic and community development projects as a volunteer and also opens your door to travel the country as a local tourist and explore what Uganda has to offer to its visitors.

Experience traditional Ugandan life and participate in daily activities such as visiting elderly villagers, collecting water from a well, teaching children in and outside classrooms, assisting in the brick making programs, feeding animals, health outreach programs, poultry house construction and repairs, home repairs, health/HIV/AIDS workshops, youth education, animal rearing, water and sanitation, waterway construction and project planning and management or other skills that can help us transform communities.

Discover the nature wonders of the region, while doing meaningful and rewarding community work. This is a great opportunity for you to explore life in rural Africa, live and work amongst the locals and realize one person can make a difference.

Understand that the culture in Uganda is quite different from what you are accustomed to. Bring with you an easy-going, open-minded and relaxed attitude.

Discover Uganda first-hand, since you will be living with a Ugandan host while serving as the family’s and community’s teacher and learner at the same time.

This is a fantastic opportunity for students, high school graduates as well as professionals who want to reach for a world beyond their horizon. It’s a total immersion into one of the world’s oldest and richest cultures, it is an adventure, a challenge, an investment in a volunteer’s future.

Experience a wonderful new perspective of this incredible part of the country. Make an important contribution, whatever your skills may be, by improving standards of living, offering skills and giving confidence to local people that comes from being able to communicate with an international native.

Leave a mark and a name in Uganda when you reach out to the young people in schools or in community and provide your practical skills for their future carriers.
