About Program

We are looking for skilled volunteers with experience in permaculture farming practices to help us set up a small farm here on our beautiful island in Lake Victoria. The farm will create a livelihood for the village as well as providing a small revenue for Firefly Uganda to invest in future projects.

Working with the local community, the volunteers will play an essential role in getting the farm up and running. This includes everything from soil preparation to planting and harvesting, as well as teaching the local community the necessary skills to keep the farm going in the long run, utilizing the richness of the land that is unique to this area.

We will do our best to provide all the support that our volunteers might need, but it is essential for this project that you already have skills and experience in permacultural farming. This opportunity will allow you to not only apply your knowledge, but to kick start a project that will make a significant difference to the region.
