About Program

Volunteers are needed for the on-going construction and water building projects in the community. Volunteers needed for manual labour jobs working alongside skilled and unskilled local workers to help with the construction work. Some tasks include construction of bole holes, expansion, water well building, construction of roads and renovation work, painting and white-washing, landscaping, digging of trenches, refurbishing sports fields, and brick laying. Volunteers do not need prior experience, but skilled workers are very welcome. This is a very hand on, hands dirty sort of program. Enthusiasm, a good sense of humor and helping spirit are required. Volunteer can also spend time in the children’s school teaching classes.

Yes, I recommend this program

Fantastic Experience!

This program was fantastic!

My first trip to Africa, and was definitely something that I will remember forever.
All the team from African Volunteer Aid were helpful during the decision to partake in this program and during the time I was in Uganda.

It was a great experience knowing that I have contributed to providing clean water to so many, something that I definitely took for granted. The program itself was hands on, so I felt like I was actually making a real difference, and other volunteers and locals were friendly and so appreciative of the work that I was doing.

Definitely looking into doing another program with AVA. I can highly recommend this non for profit and what they do. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
