    Om programmet

    The program is located in the vibrant city of Jinja, known for its rich cultural heritage and natural beauty. It lies along the shores of Lake Victoria, offering picturesque views and a laid-back environment. The city itself is a hub of activity, with local markets, vibrant neighborhoods, and nearby natural attractions, including the Source of the Nile.

    Volunteers will live in simple yet comfortable accommodations within the community, typically in shared houses or host families, allowing for a deeper connection to the local culture. The accommodation is modest but provides basic necessities, with access to clean water and electricity. Volunteers will also have time to explore the surrounding areas during their free time, with plenty of opportunities to immerse themselves in Ugandan culture.

    The volunteer works in the women’s community to offer better development and quality of life for them. A community project is carried out with women with craft workshops, hygiene workshops, disease prevention, etc.

    In this program, you will have the opportunity to experience the life of local Ugandans, help the community by lending extra hands and effort, as well as experience cultural immersion and engagement with the local community.

    It develops workshops and activities, as well as projects that promote the autonomy of these women and girls.

    Beyond the support offered, volunteers also enjoy a deep cultural immersion, living alongside locals and gaining meaningful insight into Ugandan traditions and daily life. This program not only contributes to the personal growth of the women involved but also fosters mutual understanding, solidarity, and sustainable community development. Your presence becomes a powerful tool for positive change and empowerment.

    Volunteers are expected to be proactive, empathetic, and committed to making a difference. They should be patient, respectful of cultural differences, and open to learning from the local community. Volunteers are encouraged to bring ideas for new activities or workshops that align with the skills and interests of the women, while also being flexible to adjust plans based on the local needs and context.

    Typisk dag

    The volunteer’s daily routine consists of collaboration from Monday to Friday, approximately 4 or 5 hours, distributed during the morning or afternoon according to needs.

    A typical volunteer day begins with breakfast at the accommodation with all the volunteers. After breakfast, the volunteers head to the project, where they meet with the local coordinator to organize the activities planned for the day.

    Throughout the morning, each volunteer contributes to the assigned tasks. There is a break for lunch and, depending on the needs, the tasks are continued or free time is available.

    The volunteer can visit nearby areas in his or her free time. In the evening, the group has dinner and prepares for the next day.

    Some of the activities you will do during your volunteering are:

    • Reading workshops.
    • Health workshops.
    • Basic education.
    • Entrepreneurship activities.

    Fritidsaktiviteter

    Known as the Pearl of Africa, Uganda is one of the most scenic and interesting countries you may get the chance to visit as a volunteer: breathtaking scenery, a very rich and interesting culture, plenty of wildlife and flora, delicious cuisine, everything you might want, Uganda probably has it -and more. 

    Some of the places we would recommend you to visit as a volunteer are: 
    • Kampala: Uganda's mountainous capital. In Kampala you can find bustling markets, historical sights (especially the Kasubi royal tombs, a Unesco heritage site tied to the Buganda kingdom), museums (especially the national museum), cultural areas (don't miss shows shown at the Ndere center!), and also a very diverse nightlife. 
    • Murchinson Falls National Park: Sprawling from the shore of Lake Albert, it's the largest park in Uganda and a place you shouldn't miss: it's a place filled with large African fauna, beautiful scenery, large and strong waterfalls, and excellent safari opportunities.
    • Rwenzori Mountain Ranges: a Unesco heritage site, it's one of Africa's most beautiful alpine areas. It's filled with glaciers, lakes, waterfalls, and flora and fauna you can't find in many other places.
    • Fort Portal: It's been named one of Uganda's "touristic cities"; it's the city you will be staying at and one that has much to see and do: there's the Tooro Botanical Gardens, nearby scenic spots like lake Kyaninga, or historical monuments and places like the new Tooro Kingdom Palace or the Old Tooro Kingdom Palace.
