Better life is dedicated to improving standards of Ugandan communities by providing necessary needs and resources.

To be a catalyst for change in Uganda by empowering children and communities through education, cultural understanding, and impactful programs that pave the way for a brighter, more inclusive future.

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.
