IN KAMPALA CITY:
While in Kampala city, our volunteers will be hosted by partner families and in most cases these families belong or are families where our staff and local volunteers live. This means you will live with our staff and local volunteers. We are working on establishing an independent volunteer house will be catering for accommodation of all international volunteers. You will be allocated a conducive room, bed and mattress during your stay. Most of the bathrooms and toilets are inside the house.
IN EASTERN UGANDA:
For a better
experience of an African village but with comfort, all our Volunteers are
accommodated in our local community home where they live with other family
members and volunteers become part of the family. We have semi-permanent simple
community houses where the volunteers will live with other family
members.
Because it’s a local community with limited access to electricity, the houses
have solar for only lighting and charging phones/tabloids/cameras. Some houses
have a cemented floor and the walls are made of bricks and other houses are
made of grass thatched roof but professionally designed to provide comfort to
the guests. The choice is yours. There is a shared pit latrine and shares
two bathrooms constructed outside the houses.
There is a wide, green compound (Except dry seasons) with a number of fruits like oranges, mangoes, paw paws, jack fruit, avocados among others.
Each volunteer will be allocated a separate room, within the main house, a bed, mattress and pair of bed sheets though volunteers are encouraged to carry their bed-sheets. Sometimes volunteers are requested to share a room with another volunteer or if they come in groups or family, they may share one house.
Our offices are located about, 10 minutes by motorbike from the accommodation (residence) place.
AT ALL RESIDENCES
While at the
residence, the volunteers will share local food with the host family members, where
the volunteer may participate in preparing, cooking and serving local foods
within the family especially during her free time and weekends
Local foods like Posho, millet, sweet potatoes among others will be the main
food especially while up-country during your stay but once in a while we will
have modern dishes although we encourage that the volunteers should try to get
used to local foods as much as possible to enable them have a better experience
of Africa.
Meals at Office
In most cases while at office, we have our lunch meals at office both in
Kampala and up-country office. We mostly make our meals and different
volunteers are assigned the roles to support in shopping, preparing food,
cooking and serving. We do this as family and team work.
Limited access at the project site
Visa, flights, travel insurance or vaccinations are NOT included in the program fees.
An airport pickup isn't included within the program fees either.
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.
