International Volunteering in Unganda
There are many projects in rural Uganda that hope to end the systemic deprivation, poverty, and hunger caused by the HIV/AIDS epidemic plaguing the country.
These programs use a holistic approach to community development that includes education, healthcare, and social programs through the Bugerere Education Support Organisation (BESO Foundation) — a Ugandan non-profit Organization that serves disadvantaged children, youth, and women.
If offering your hands and heart in service to this cause in a beautiful, culturally and ecologically diverse land resonates with you, talk with us about how we may match you with one of our projects in Uganda.
We have done our best to list as many projects as we can.
