Ssamba Foundation: Free Volunteering Opportunities in Uganda

We recruit volunteers to participate in our sustainable community development projects, conservation, teaching, health care, building and sports projects. Depending on the season and time you travel to Uganda, we always have a list of much needed services which can be provided by volunteers within our projects in rural Uganda.

This volunteer program is an immersion program customized for individual travelers, students, professionals, families, groups, or anyone with the desire to serve in rural villages in Uganda. Our volunteers are placed with a number of small community based projects that provide counselling, care, and education for rural people, poor youth and underprivileged children.

Each village placement provides a totally different experience, but main activities involve working with local children, youth, women and elderly. You can decide if you want to teach nursery, primary, secondary, and vocational education or if you want to be involved in a more free form work arrangement placed with an organization that provides community outreach services.
