Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We will welcome you into our community and we will teach you all about life in Uganda.
Our home is situated on the top of the hill in the middle of a beautiful green environment.
We can teach you the language and teach you how to cook our delicious local food.
You will also get the opportunity to see ceremonial rituals that originated from this village.
Whenever you have free time we can arrange trips to Mount Elgon, the Source of the Nile, Sipi Falls, Sisiyi Falls, Wanale Falls, Grapevin Falls, the rock paintings, Murchison Falls, community tours and more. There are so many beautiful and cultural sites to explore, and I worked previously as a tour guide so I have plenty of experience in all Uganda.Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
Volunteers can help in many different ways, You can help the teachers and the children in school. If you enjoy teaching you can bring your skills and any examples from home for lessons in reading, mathematics, writing or any other topic you would like to teach. You can help in small groups on a particular subject to give them special attention. All children learn English, so you can help them to practice, even by talking and engaging with them, this can be a big help.
Children also need to learn about the digital world, very few children in Mbale have access to and know how to use computers. Bring your laptop, bring an extra, and let them explore the wonders of computers. Simply learning the keys and how to type would be great.
Teach them about hygiene, why it is important to wash your hands, why it is important to use a latrine. We encourage good hygiene and nutrition at school but it takes time for children to learn good practice.
Ugandans love music, singing and dancing. If you play an instrument, bring it with you and teach them new songs and sing together.
Do you like to play football or any other sport? If you can bring some balls or sport equipment we can arrange time to play games with the children.
You can help to develop relationships with the women groups and empower them to start a small business so they can earn a sustainable income.
Help with construction of the new school we are building, help with making bricks.
Do you love photography and videos? Make a report of your stay or make a movie about your time with us in Mutoto.
As you can see there are plenty of ways to help! Any help that you can offer either at the school teaching and helping with the children, empowering the women’s groups or helping with community groups to promote community health and safe motherhood related projects, would be very much appreciated.
There are plenty of opportunities to get involved in this friendly community. It is always positive to have visitors for members of the community to meet and get to know. We enjoy volunteers staying with us in our home and are very welcoming, you can read some of the volunteer reviews to gain a better understanding.
If this is your first time to Uganda the different culture and basic living circumstances can be a a culture shock. Take your time to adjust staying with us and learn about the beauty of living the rural life of a small community.
We hope to hear from you soon! Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions.Languages
