About Program
Kenya and Uganda are regarded as some of the finest destinations in Africa, celebrated for their exceptional wildlife, especially the "Big Five" and the Great Migration in the Masai Mara. Additionally, they boast stunning beaches, rich cultural diversity, and important paleontological sites. We warmly invite you to participate in our volunteer programs in both the urban centers of Nairobi, Kenya, and Kampala, Uganda, as well as in rural regions such as Samburu in northeastern Kenya. Volunteers are encouraged to dedicate 3-4 hours, which provides sufficient time for other projects, language learning, or discovering the local surroundings.
UCESCO Africa offers volunteer opportunities that emphasize sustainable initiatives aimed at enhancing Education (teaching in schools), Community Health (through our clinics and Free Medical Camps), Sports, Yoga, and Childcare. The activities include Beach/Ocean Clean-up, Eco-farming and Eco-Tourism, Life skills training, language, and Conservation.
