Hello everyone!
I’m Francis, the founder, based in Kigungu, Entebbe, where I live with my wife and daughter. Our mission is simple but impactful: providing education for children whose families face financial challenges.
Currently, we have three main programs:
1. Primary School Sponsorship: We connect older children with sponsors to cover their school fees, helping them continue their education.
2. Nursery School: We recently started a nursery to offer early education for those unable to afford private kindergartens. Additionally, we provide activities for older children as they prepare to return to school.
3. Women Empowerment Program: This initiative offers skills training and basic English lessons, helping women in the community grow personally and professionally.
We also host a community event every Saturday, where the children gather for games and fun on a village field.
With a small, committed team of three, we manage these programs while also balancing our day-to-day jobs.
We are a growing initiative, and we’re excited about everything that lies ahead.

Arbeit
We are just starting, so there are many things to do.
We need volunteers who:
1. are willing to support our teachers
2. love to play with children and don't have a problem to act like a clown for them :D.
3. know how to manage digital platforms, how to create content, and how to maintain our online presence.
4. have experience in fundraising strategies and donor engagement to secure financial resources for our children and our organisation.
5. have a talent in organising events to find sponsors (individuals or companies) which are willing to support our children and our organisation.
6. teach the women of Kigungu how to sew.
If you wish to bring items for the children during your visit, please refer to our wish list below:
Drawing materials: Papers, pens, pencils, and colours
English children's books
Learning books
Donations of clothes and shoes for the children
Toys
Balls
Our children and we are grateful for any kind of support and look already forward to meet you. Be aware, you have to handle a lot of love.

Gesprochene Sprachen
Englisch: Fließend
Luganda, Ganda: FließendDieser Gastgeber bietet Sprachaustausch an
I would like to learn Spanish and German and it would be a pleasure for me to teach you the basics of the local language, Luganda.
Unterkunft
As a volunteer, you'll be staying in a room within my home. Depending on the number of volunteers, you may be sharing the room with other Volunteers.
Please note that our bathrooms are a bit different from what you might be used to. We have a SQUAT TOILET and a BUCKET SHOWER, but don’t worry—you’ll adjust to it after a few days.
We would love to invite you, but unfortunately, we are unable to cover the costs for food. Therefore, we kindly ask for a contribution of $6 per day to help us meet these expenses.
Was noch ...
During your free time you could visit Uganda, 'The Pearl of Africa' and explore the beautiful landscapes and the incredible biodiversity.
You could also visit the city of Entebbe which you could reach with a boda (motorbike) in 15-20 minutes (Around 1,23 USD).
It's also possible to visit Kampala, the capital city of Uganda, which is only 1 hour away from Entebbe (Bus for around 1,23 USD).
If you need more tips, feel free to ask.
Please keep in mind that we are located in Uganda, and living conditions here may be quite different from what you're used to. Since Kigungu is located right next to the airport, our area is definitely one of the safest in the country. However, both the infrastructure and the home environment will likely differ significantly from what you might know from Europe or North America.
You will also encounter people whose living situations are very challenging. But that is exactly why we are here. We want to make a positive impact and help create better opportunities for the generations to come.

Kann Digital Nomads unterbringen
I would like to host nomads because I myself I would like to find someone who can help me to market our social media platforms and I myself I would like to work from home through online. I need someone who is good at marketing and knows internet connections. I have a free space at school where you can work during your free time online and getting data for internet connections. It's easy to get a sim card, and you load the internet bundles on it.
