The Experience

Our Eco project has just started, we have a small piece of land we are using for growing vegetation and farming chickens. We can also bring you to many local agricultural projects that support nutrition in schools, meeting local farmers and learning their techniques of farming. We pick rubbish to clean up our streets. We would love any ideas for developing our eco project also. Experience the nature of Uganda in all its true beauty.

If you're thinking about joining this volunteer program,I highly recommend it! First of all,Brian is an incredibly kind person who always looked after me and made sure I was comfortable. The children here are also so sweet,kind and adorable. The program is located in a really rural village in Uganda,so you get to experience authentic local life and culture. The people are incredibly warm and welcoming, and I felt at home during my stay. Unfortunately,I only had time to stay for two weeks,I truly wish I could have stayed longer. I would definitely love to come back again in the future!

It was a pleasure having Lukas with us. His kindness, patience, and positive attitude made a real difference in the lives of the children. Lukas taught with passion, encouraged every child to participate, and brought so much joy through football, dancing, and other fun activities.
His dedication, teamwork, and genuine care created a welcoming and inspiring environment. The children looked forward to spending time with Lukas, and your impact will be remembered for a long time.
Thank you

My experience with the kids in this organization was truly amazing. The space they provide for classes is warm and welcoming, not just for the kids, but for volunteers too. The children feel at ease, and the facilities are great - big blackboard, plenty of materials like paper, pencils, markers, and even glue guns. I'm so grateful for the opportunity to work here. It's an amazing place to learn and teach. One thing to note is that volunteers do need to cover some costs themselves, so it's worth mentioning that there are expenses involved even when the profile doesn't mention it.

I really enjoyed my experience with the kids. We had a lot of fun spending time together by learning, growing and playing games. Brian helped organize some transfers I took from and to Nankoma which I much appreciated.
Even though I enjoyed my overall experience I have to point out that you do have to pay certain fees that are not mentioned on the profile. Material provided is limited so I recommend bringing some equipment you want to use or you will need for teaching.

My time here left a deep and lasting imprint on how I see life in Uganda. The children filled my days with pure joy, and the love we shared grew naturally and powerfully. Every morning felt meaningful, and every evening felt too short. Some moments were so full of connection that I wished time could freeze. Brian was truly lovable and made sure I felt comfortable every single day. His flexibility with work makes the whole experience smooth and stress free, and he always checks in to ensure everyone feels included and supported. I feel like part of a family rather than just a volunteer. Love!
