THE RELIEF VOLUNTEER PROGRAM UGANDA

“Alone, we can do so little. Together, we can do so much.” – Helen Keller

It’s incredible to think back on Relief Care Uganda’s first year and how much we have grown. It simply would not have been possible without the support of corporate and individual donors like you.

We have ongoing round initiatives which need your contribution to continue and grow – community development, educational programs, medical, youth empowerment, the community learning center and sustainable agriculture

If you want to join our family of monthly giving donors, please go to our DONATE page.

If you want to host a local RCU fundraiser such as dinner parties, Adopting a Classroom, Host an Event, fund RUNS, or collegiate level events in your city, please contact us at reliefcareuganda@gmail.com , to learn more about our guidelines and how we can officially support you!

Volunteering with Relief Care Uganda is a life changing experience which you will never forget. Relief Care Uganda is a small community-based development charity aiming to help the lives of vulnerable Ugandans through a number of privately financed development projects. Volunteering with Relief Care Uganda is certainly not only going to put something into a desperately poor community, but also give you and adventure of a lifetime.

Relief Care Uganda offers a safe and family-like environment in which to come to Uganda and give your time through our volunteer program. We offer pre-arrival support by answering your questions about Uganda and by organizing a project that best fits your skills and interests.

We offer in-country assistance by collecting you from the airport (at a fee), getting you to your placement, and unravelling some of the more complicated cultural issues you face when entering Uganda for the first time. It is not easy to come to a completely foreign culture on your own. We want to be there to give you encouragement, advice, and support in order for you to be most effective while you are here.

Volunteers become part of the family, learning about the local culture: how to cook, how to speak the language, how to sit peacefully with their neighbors and talk about life in general. We hope that volunteers take that knowledge home with them, spreading the word about Ugandan development issues and culture around the world.

We offer exciting short-term and long-term volunteer opportunities in our home. Our volunteers’ placements are open to people of all ages and backgrounds, regardless of nationality or qualifications. Volunteers certainly gain an amazing life experience from their participation in our placement program and we recruit new volunteers all the year round. One can also volunteer while in their home’s country by; Fundraising, finding donors, writing proposals, linking Relief Care Uganda for partnership.
