    Description

    My name is Julius and I am the project manager at the Foundation, a community based organization that provides, home, food, healthcare and education to the marginalized kids in Jinja, Uganda. We believe that by supporting our kids and providing them a loving and healthy environment we can help the development of our community.
    Volunteers are always treated as family and we welcome everyone who wants to help! We really enjoy having people form all around the world and learn from many different cultures. We also enjoy teaching our visitors all about the Ugandan culture. We have a small farm and garden in which we teach our kids to grow their own fruits and vegetables and also farming skills and love for animals.
    Come and visit our place and join our family!
