Hello, I'm Esther. I run a primary school in Bujuuko-Wakiso (Central Uganda, 10km from Kampala).
Having become a widow at an early age and with my children so young, I realized the problems that so many single mothers go through to educate their children and support their families. As a professional teacher, I was inspired by these challenges to start a primary school to support orphans and vulnerable children from rural Uganda to attain a quality and affordable education no matter their economic background.
The school is currently home to 130 children ages 3 to 13 and the number is growing very fast. We currently need volunteers to support the teaching staff and pass on valuable life skills to the learners through career-building sessions. The volunteers will also act as role models and help our learners stay in school longer by changing the community attitude towards education.
Volunteering with us is a unique opportunity to combine adventure and volunteering for a worthwhile cause. It is a rare opportunity to gain insight into the Ugandan lifestyle and experience a completely different culture and way of life. We are looking for volunteers with a wide variety of skills: from assistance at the school, including teaching and gardening, to more technical support, such as fundraising and project management.
We look forward to working with you!Arten von Hilfe und Lernmöglichkeiten

Uganda is the pearl of Africa with a rich and interesting culture. Volunteers will experience first-hand the Ugandan way of life and get the chance to really make a difference. They can also learn the Luganda and other local languages spoken here. You will also learn to peel matooke (bananas), a local delicacy here and learn to cook a wide range of Ugandan dishes.
The school is located in Wakiso , some good kilometers to Murchison falls, National Park. The location of the school can lead to a numbers of tourism places for example Sipi falls in far East of Ugandan ,the source of river Nile ,Itanda and Busowoko falls plus much more centres Tourists are charged to get access, but the experience is worth it. You get to see the big five in their natural habitat and experience the beautiful sunrise at the falls.Projekte mit Kindern

VISA
Most of our volunteers use the tourist visa, that should be enough for your stay with us so you do not need a work permit or the like.
WEATHER
Uganda is mostly sunny throughout the year but we do have some rainy seasons and it gets cold sometimes. We advise you to bring suitable clothing accordingly.
WHAT TO BRING
Please bring whatever you feel is necessary but our visitors often have things like:
Mosquito repellent
Malaria tablets (please consult your doctor before departure)
Sunscreen
A sun hat
Comfortable shoes you can work in
TRANSPORT
Buses for Masindi leave Kampala throughout the day. But we will arrange for you to travel with a member of staff upon arrival here.
The bus makes regular food and toilet stops. It's helpful to have small denominations of shillings so you can buy things to eat and drink at stops, or when sellers come to the window with snacks.
