    Accommodation

    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. 

    There is limited electricity but because its a local community with limited access to electricity, some of 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.

    Volunteers are free to come with camping tents to be used in case of community camps/trips when necessary.
    There is a wide, green compound (Except dry seasons) with a number of fruits like oranges, mangoes, pawpaws, jack fruit, avocados among others. 
    Volunteers are encouraged to carry their bed-sheets, Bed covers/blanket, pillow, bathing Towel and other personal items. Volunteers are requested to share a rooms with another volunteer or if they come in groups or family etc.

    Our offices are located about, 10 minutes by motorbike from the accommodation (residence) place.

    Food & Beverages

    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.
    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.
