WORK PROFILE (2017-2018)

Uganda Volunteers For Peace welcomes

you to (Uganda) the pearl of Africa!

Our work profile offers you the general over view about the available hosting projects 2017-

2018.

We have tried to give a brief description about the projects, That is to say name of project,

it’s major, volunteer activities and location of the project. A volunteer should choose a

project basing on their preference.

Volunteers to Uganda must bear in mind that volunteering here in Uganda is not a trip to

Disney Land!!!! So do not expect clean roads, posh buildings, nice things but rather a rich

culture, nice people and purity of nature. Uganda may not have every good thing but use the

most of everything.

Most of the projects presented are not found in town (Kampala City Center) but rather in

the outskirts of Kampala and in the villages (rural areas).All projects are very active and

social. However voluntary work can or is never easy with mixed emotions that are involved,

but I have no doubt you will have the experience of a life time here in Uganda.

Thank you all and looking forward to seeing you here in our Beautiful Motherland Uganda.
