Uganda Volunteer Opportunities

Safari summary

Uganda, nicknamed “The Pearl of Africa”, is a place that once you go, you’ll never want to leave. For those looking to volunteer, it’s a country full of opportunities for meaningful interaction with local culture and nature. There are so many ways to travel here and give back at the same time through Ssamba Foundation.

Teach English in Rural Schools:

Many villages in Uganda are in need of native English speakers to come teach English, and in return you’ll get an experience like no other. Living in a rural village will immerse you in traditional Ugandan life and culture, an experience completely different from the normal tourist trip. It’s such a unique chance to connect with children and members of the local community. Some programs also have you help build schools in rural villages.

Volunteer with Children:

There are lots of orphanages and children’s homes in Uganda looking for people who love kids to come and help out. There are opportunities everywhere from out in rural villages in Mukono, to children’s homes in cities like Kampala and Jinja if that’s what you’d like. Wherever you go, you’ll be rewarded with the smiles of children and knowing you helped make a difference.

Medical Volunteer Work:
