The Experience

The Freedom Program is a NGO that helps to give education for more than 60 kids, orphans and kids from very poor families that can't afford the school fees. We are running some business in the community that give us some income. All the profit goes to pay the school fees for the kids, their uniforms, books, medicines, and any bills related to their education. We need your help to build and maintain our business which the profit goes to the kids.

Volunteering the organization Nankoma, Uganda, was an incredibly rewarding experience that left a lasting impact on me. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warmth and enthusiasm by the organization the local village. Their eagerness to learn and engage in activities was inspiring, and it was a joy to spend time with them each day. Overall, my experience volunteering the organization Nankoma, Uganda, exceeded all expectations. The opportunity to make a positive impact in the lives of young children while immersing myself in a vibrant and welcoming community was truly priceless.

Aisi was so an amazing person who liked to work with both us and the community, she helped us buy some gifts and also made a birthday party for five kids, and she left when all the classes have learnt to count from zero to 25 numbers in Chinese language and up to now the kids are still practicing slowly to mention but a few . We miss her so much in our project!

The Freedom Program is amazing, the NGO is changing the life of 70 kids nowadays providing them education and avoiding them of work. They really make a good impact on the community and they are on right track to be sustainable and don't need on donations anymore. I recommend this volunteer for everyone, you'll be contact with local, in a small and beautiful community in Nankoma and you can enjoy working to help the NGO grow and help more kids be added to the program.
