Overseas Voluntary Work With Children in Uganda

The greatest cause of prevalence of needy and orphaned children in Uganda is poverty and the scourge of the HIV/AIDS pandemic as many kids have been left without parents to take care of them. Such neglected kids have often been taken by other families or by charitable persons and groups and put up in orphanages. Orphanage operators are often in great need of labor support to supplement their efforts.

International volunteers at orphanages often teach the schools at the orphanage or in nearby public schools that orphanage children attend; assist in preparing meals for the kids; doing the dishes and doing the many chores that running such a place entails. In the evening, when the kids are back from school, overseas volunteers with Uganda orphanages play with the children and assist them with their school assignments.

Uganda Volunteer Teaching Abroad

Your contribution to teach English as a second language or other subjects will be highly appreciated and fulfilling to yourself. We provide international teaching volunteers to number of schools in Uganda, Africa. Volunteer teachers work under the supervision of an experienced member of the school teaching staff appointed by the Head Master/teacher.

A college degree or teaching training are not required, but suitable persons are expected to have at least graduated from high school or be enrolled in a college. On completion of a mandatory teacher orientation, the intern or volunteer abroad teacher will be expected to work for between 4 to 8 hours a day.

Uganda Medical & Dental Volunteer Service Abroad

Our Africa health volunteer placements are open to medical professionals including doctors, dentists, nurses, medical laboratory technologists, etc. A professional license is required at the start of your medical volunteer placement abroad in Uganda.

As an overseas medical volunteer, you will work with local staff in support of the health care efforts. You will participate in as many areas of work as your licence allows you to but under supervision of local professionals.

There are a number of medical and dental clinics in Uganda where you can provide voluntary services. You will find the Uganda dental and medical volunteer abroad opportunity enlightening and rewarding.

All prospective international medical volunteers need to submit a resume showing their area and level of expertise and what they hope to achieve from the medical volunteer placement in Africa. Healthcare program students including medical, dental, nursing, dental hygine, as well as related prep-program students (such as pre-meds) should apply for the medical internships, not the medical volunteer program.

Volunteer with HIV/AIDS Awareness and Care

In collaboration with the local community, a number of local HIV/AIDS project seek to foster awareness about HIV/AIDS by offering free training programs for the community. Ideally volunteers overseas in Uganda in this project are first exposed to the main issues surrounding HIV and AIDS mainly during the first week.

In subsequent weeks, HIV and AIDS volunteers in Uganda accompany local staff in their routine activities. Those doing volunteer work abroad with this HIV program will participate in offering clinics for patients, families and people wanting to test for HIV and AIDS. Overseas volunteers will also participate in home visit with the patients and families to provide treatment, food, and care and sometimes help with home chores.

International volunteers will be involved in teaching about Sexually Transmitted Diseases including HIV and AIDS, and teaching about sexuality, to youths and parents. International volunteers with HIV and AIDS program in Uganda should also be prepared to visit with and providing support to orphans of HIV and AIDS,

In addition, international volunteers and overseas interns with the AIDS program should come prepared to learn and participate in community education. International interns and volunteers abroad should also be ready to visit with HIV affected and infected members of the community and assist them with domestic chores.

Nature and Environment Volunteer Service

There are a number of nature and environmental conservation projects involving forests , parks, environmental impact assessment, and wilderness conservation in Uganda. These programs are normally very short of staff and overseas volunteers are seen as a huge relief to local personel. Environment program volunteers can assist with these programs as they exchange ideas with the field professionals in Uganda.
