    We have a youthful and enthusiastic team of employees so volunteering with us is great fun!

    Uganda is referred to as “The Pearl of Africa”; we give our volunteers an opportunity to travel and experience most interesting parts of Uganda by creating affordable budgets and guides depending on which locations they wish to visit to enable them visit the wonders of our country without the hassle and stress of being alone in the unknown.

    Local people and especially children in Uganda are very happy to spend their time with “Muzungu” (white person). Anywhere you go they greet you “Muzungu, how are you?”. On the weekends and other days-off it’s a good time for touring and exploring Uganda – the pearl of Africa. We have plenty of wonderful touring opportunities in and around Mbarara city, Queen Elizabeth National Park, Lake Bunyonyi, Bwindi Gorilla and many others.

    We attend church on Sundays. Anyone who wants to join us is welcome and can experience an all-dancing, all-singing African mass.

    We can also offer volunteers a chance for language exchange and can teach Runyankore/Rukiga, Runyoro/Rutoro among other languages.

    Workawayers will be offered laundry cleaning services and will be given an opportunity to learn how to wash their own clothes with hands.
    For the good of their health during their period of stay with us, they should have COVID-19 test certificate, and medical insurance and can easily access a medical doctor.
