Our volunteer program is designed to actively involve community members, local youth, students, professionals, and international supporters in delivering direct, meaningful support to orphaned, abandoned, street, and vulnerable children in Kamuli District.
Recruitment & Orientation
Volunteers are recruited through community meetings, local schools, churches, social media, and partnerships. Every volunteer undergoes a short orientation covering the foundation's mission, child safeguarding policies, code of conduct, and the specific needs of the children we serve. Background checks and references are required for roles involving direct contact with children.
Volunteers support the daily care, development, and well-being of orphaned, abandoned, and vulnerable children. Activities are structured around the needs of the children and the foundation's programmes (nutrition, education, health outreach, and psychosocial support).
Child Safeguarding
Never be alone with a child. Always work in the presence of another adult or staff member.
Physical contact must be appropriate, minimal, and only when necessary (e.g., assisting a young child).
No private messaging, gift-giving, or personal relationships with children outside official activities.
Immediately report any concern about a child's safety or welfare to a supervisor.
Professional Conduct
Arrive on time for your assigned shift and notify the coordinator in advance if you cannot attend.
Dress modestly and appropriately for working with children in a community setting.
Treat all children, staff, caregivers, and fellow volunteers with respect, patience, and fairness.
Do not use mobile phones for personal purposes during active duties with children.
Confidentiality
Do not share photos, names, stories, or personal details of children on social media or with outsiders without written permission from the foundation.
Keep all information about the children and their families strictly confidential.
Boundaries & Behaviour
Do not promise children things you cannot deliver (money, gifts, sponsorship, or future support).
Avoid favouritism. Treat every child equally.
No smoking, alcohol, or drug use on the premises or during any foundation activity.
Follow all instructions given by staff and respect the authority of supervisors.
Health & Safety
Report any illness, injury, or unsafe situation immediately.
Wash hands regularly and follow hygiene protocols, especially during meal times and health activities.
Comply with any additional health or safety guidelines issued by the foundation.
Commitment & Attitude
Approach every activity with a positive, patient, and child-centred attitude.
Be open to feedback and willing to learn.
