About Program
Uganda Lodge is a UK based registered charity working with a community in south-west Uganda to promote better education, health and life outcomes for the children and families who live there in rudimentary accommodation without access to even basic services. We partner with a local community based organisation to ensure services are created, managed and delivered by local people who can also benefit from those employment opportunities.
Projects to date include the development of a school for over 400 children, a gravity well to supply water to Ruhanga village, workshops and a medical centre. English speaking volunteers from across the world are welcome to stay with us working at the school or within many other community based initiatives.
You can help at the school, develop projects or help in our medical centre, ideal for medical electives
Consider your impact: Volunteering abroad can be a rewarding experience for both volunteers and local communities, and at Go Overseas, we believe all volunteers should have the resources to make informed decisions about the type of volunteer project they want to partake in. However, despite best intentions, some organizations offering placements in orphanages may unknowingly place children in danger. You can read about the potential dangers of orphanage volunteering here.
