Description
✨ Welcome to our project in Africa, Uganda: Unleashing Sustainable Living Amidst Nature's Canvas! 🌍
At our place, nestled in the captivating landscapes of Kasese, Uganda, we invite you to be part of a unique blend of services that redefine sustainable living. Immerse yourself in the harmonious fusion of accommodations, an inspiring art gallery, and the tranquil embrace of our botanical garden. Set against the backdrop of the Rwenzori Mountains and the proximity to Queen Elizabeth National Park, our place is a haven for those seeking an immersive connection with nature.
🌱 Project Description:
It is more than a project; it's a lifestyle. Seamlessly blending the comfort of our accommodations, the cultural richness of an art gallery, and the serenity of a botanical garden, we aim to create an oasis of sustainable living. As a volunteer, your role encompasses the diverse aspects of our place, contributing to its vibrant tapestry.
By being a part of our project, you contribute to our community project, which has enabled 100 kids annually to access education in the past for 5 years (2017 -2022) through donations and activities.
👥 Volunteer Roles:
1. (FOR EVERY GUEST INTERESTED IN THE CULTURAL IMMERSION PROGRAM AT OUR PROJECT. Fundraising for our project's development. We continue to raise funds to be able to continue to host volunteers and continue developing projects onsite. We don't charge for stay and offer meals, and accommodation to all our guests as part of the cultural exchange but request our volunteers to support us in fundraising for their project of choice ahead of arrival, that they can then implement on ground in support with the local team. These projects support in continuing to make it possible to sustainably host other volunteers in the future. We have hosted over 100 guests in the past, and costs on hosting and utilities and improving the projects facilities to be hospitable to each new volunteer soon go out of hand :) So we would love to stay focused on ensuring continued experiences based on mutual support. Projects of choice to be fundraised for and focused on need to be agreed upon on with team before arrival to ensure you have enough time to plan and have more free time for other cultural and nature experiences upon arrival.
