Do a search for "volunteer work in Uganda" and, in all
likelihood you'll be faced with a list of dozens of the
big volunteer companies who operate in Uganda and
elsewhere across the African continent. Many of these
big volunteer recruiters and advertisers are not
charities but fully functioning "for profit" businesses
who know that there is a lot of money selling placements
to volunteers. Here, on this
volunteer work in Uganda page, we only list small,
locally run volunteer projects which are run and managed
locally by Ugandans.
The money
you pay doesn't fund offices and staff in the UK but
goes directly into the local community and economy where
you will be working. They also have one focus; to make
things better for the community in which they operate.
Some, like Raising Up Hope Uganda help street children,
because its founder Patrick, lived on the streets of
Kampala himself as a child and wants to give other
children a better life and safer future. When you
work with him you're making a real difference to real
children in real need whereas some of the other big
international projects you may find are almost
manufactured to sell volunteer work placements for
profit.
Volunteer
work opportunities in Uganda are often in schools,
hospitals and orphanages with there being an estimated
3.5 million children orphaned through AIDS/HIV alone;
that's nearly one in ten of the country's entire
population. Other opportunities include construction
work and animal conservation. Uganda itself
is a great country for volunteer work not least because
its safe, friendly, cheap and with always a warm and
genuine welcome from its people but its also very much
unspoilt with ample opportunities for sightseeing in
between volunteer work experiences. If you run or
know of a volunteer work project in Uganda let us know
by contacting us here. We look forward
to hearing from you!
