I have visited Amatsiko three times and am always amazed how much it achieves with so little. The experience you will have is life changing. The school children are so affectionate, polite and happy to be in school. Prepare to be mobbed like a rock star at break times. The other programs include going out to village projects way off the tourist route, again you cannot explain the experience of how you are greeted in the villages, and it is an adventure just getting to them. Alex and Alphonse the two principal driving forces behind the projects have their own back stories of how they ended up creating this amazing project.
Safety? I certainly feel safer walking around Kabale than my home town in England and any downtime you have you can visit Lake Bunyonyi, 6 miles from town, a stunning heaven for birdlife and hostels and hotels to suit all budgets.
My wife accompanied me on our most recent visit and was blown away by the whole experience. She is already looking at ways of fund raising to help out those whose lives may be poorer in many ways than our own, but so much richer in others

Would you recommend this program?
Yes, I would
