  Descripción

  We are a community-run school providing secondary education and vocational skills training to orphans and other children from disadvantaged backgrounds, with an outreach program in the communities.
  We have over 800 students, both girls and boys, aged between 13 and 20.
  
  We are located at Kirinda village, Mukungwe division /sub county in Masaka city, 85 miles (135 km) south west of the Ugandan capital Kampala.
  
  The school is run on Christian principles, and accepts children regardless of their religion, tribe, ethnicity or political background. Some students come from the nearby slums, while others come from the rural areas, with a few from as far away as Tanzania and Rwanda. There is a mixture of day and boarding students due to the long distance that some have to travel to reach the school.

  ¿Por qué Workaway permite a algunos anfitriones cobrar una tarifa?

  
  

  Workaway proporciona oportunidades para intercambios culturales no monetarios donde los anfitriones proporcionan comida y alojamiento a cambio de la ayuda de los Workawayers. En algunos casos excepcionales, se puede aprobar una pequeña cuota/donativo (normalmente no más de 5 dólares por día) para anfitriones tales como organizaciones benéficas registradas con un historial de reseñas positivas por parte de los voluntarios. Cualquier cuota debe ir directamente a la organización benéfica y sólo puede utilizarse para cubrir los gastos de comida de los voluntarios. Esto se indicará claramente en la ficha del anfitrión.
  

  Los anuncios de agentes, "intermediarios" o proyectos que parezcan beneficiarse de la estancia de un voluntario están estrictamente prohibidos. Cualquier tarifa debe ser discutida y aprobada de antemano por el equipo de Workaway.

  US$100 voluntary donation per month to help with costs
