The program is mainly about physical participation of the volunteers to work with the local community to dig the fish pond using hand tools like the mattock, spade, hoe, wheel barrow, jerrycans.We are trying to solve the problem of poor feeding in the community by establishing a fish pond that will be used to rear fish for our area. Currently a kilogram of fish from the natural lakes is about 20,000 Uganda shillings which is very costly for a peasant farmer like our people. The program needs multiple volunteers to come and join us to do the work.Program fees will be used for airport pickup and drop back, feeding and accommodation.50% of the fees will be used to buy the construction materials and buying the fish fillets that will be used to start the project. Still, part of the fees will be used to buy the fish supplements.

Airport pickup is made for the volunteers on arrival. However, we need their travel program before arrival so that we can know their time and date of arrival. Volunteers that arrive very late at night are advised to stay in a hotel or guest house house at their expense.
Volunteers are accommodated with host families so that they can learn our social cultural beliefs and practices from the family members.
We serve our local food with our local sauce and fruits.

The nearest airport is Entebbe International Airport (EBB) in Entebbe. We assist you to find cheap flights to Uganda.
Going abroad is an adventure and it is always best to be prepared. Sudden illness or injury, cancellation or theft - a travel insurance for Uganda provides security and is a plus to have.
If you are intending to volunteer in Uganda you should seek medical advice before starting your social journey. Check your required vaccinations for Uganda.
