Making a Difference in Uganda was established in 2018 after the founder Beth was volunteering there in 2017. She had volunteered in other countries, but this was her first time to Africa. She fell in love with the culture, people, environment and way of life. She returned the following year, and the idea for Making a Difference in Uganda was born. Having spent time there she met a number of local people who had started small organizations who had a strong focus and dedication to their projects, sustainability and long term planning. Rather than existing for profit or volunteer tourism, the organization addresses problems that faced their people, in ways that made sense. Here we saw a gap in the market to support these projects with skilled and dedicated volunteers. Our volunteer program focuses on supporting the existing organizations, while providing innovation and ideas. More importantly we believe that giving these people encouragement, hope and support is the best way to help them achieve. Having spent much time in the country we understand how to support local customs and initiatives.

Social Impact
Working alongside out local partners we have changed a number of lives. Through our medical outreaches we have seen and treated thousands of patients who otherwise would not have access to medical care. This includes malaria treatment, providing counselling on where to get HIV medication, wound care, provision of antibiotics and providing education on hygiene to avoid further infection. This also gives people an opportunity to learn how diseases such as HIV are transmitted and the importance of mosquito nets. We have provided emergency medical care and surgery to a number of individuals who were in desperate need.
