About Program
UYWEFA is committed to addressing and alleviating the negative effects of the HIV/AIDS pandemic that has caused untold suffering, poverty, and dehumanization throughout Uganda. In April 2011 UYWEFA constructed an education center in order to provide 50 Orphans and Vulnerable Youth (OVCs) in the community of Kazo with free education. As of January 2015 the centre has expanded to service approximately 200 OVC's.
The centre is community-owned and therefore largely staffed by local volunteers. We are seeking the assistance of an international volunteers/interns to supplement the skills of local volunteers and provide administrative and teaching support. The primary responsibility of volunteers will be to conduct classes such as English and Math. Furthermore, Interns will have the opportunity to participate in other programs UYWEFA offers; Economic Empowerment Programs assisting single HIV positive mothers and various Youth Programs.
