At Ssamba Foundation, the Uganda volunteer program options available are endless – we operate and support schools, a microfinance project, a community health clinic and social community centre. Volunteer Work with Children: You can spend time interacting with children and encouraging their social and emotional development. You can focus on music, recreation, art, or other special areas of talent you have. If you are compassionate, creative, and love working with children, this is the program for you. Volunteer Work at Micro-finance Project: You can spend your time working with women at our microfinance project. There are many options for this program that can revolve around your level of knowledge about finance and business. Volunteer Work at Community Health Clinic: If you are interested in the health field, you can work in our community health clinic or one of our local partner hospitals. We also arrange a number of healthcare outreaches in rural communities of Mukono district. Teaching/ education Volunteer Work: Work with our local teachers in your field of expertise to help students learn the skills and information they need to succeed. You will be working in one of our schools, a primary and secondary school. Volunteer Work at a construction/building project: Focus on a building project based on your area of expertise, or work on one of the existing projects that needs an extra set of hands! This is a great opportunity to work with local adults and gives you the chance to truly see the impact you will leave behind. Past volunteers have built classrooms, health clinics, or even homes for elderly village members. Social Work Volunteer Work: Work in areas like sports program, music and arts, in villages across the Mukono district. This program has many options and often times volunteers end up creating a custom project based on their own ideas.
