Manywa Initiative for Children

Manywa Initiative for Children has evolved into more than just a school. For the children, it is their second home were they receive love and attention beyond just education.
Furthermore, we also spearhead various community projects that better the living conditions for the inhabitants of Manywa in different ways.

You will get the opportunity to teach and care for the children at school, or even take charge of any of these projects if you are able or ambitious. This could be anything from establishing a bakery or a water well, building a playing area, or running a course on first aid. It is completely up to you how you feel you can contribute.

In your free time you can go enjoy many of the experiences The Pearl of Africa (Uganda) has to offer, be it waterfalls, the city of Kampala, Lake Victoria, our stunning natural parks or the very place you'll stay in - Manywa. Even when working you'll be subject to incredible experiences you will not find at home.

You are very well fed, and you will feel safe and stress-free during your stay. We love and are very grateful for our volunteers and everyone - even strangers - treats you with outmost respect and kindness.

Volunteering at this school has honestly been one of the most inspiring experiences of my life. What makes it so special is Paul, the founder and heart behind it all. His dedication to his community is incredible. He’s not just running a school; he’s creating opportunities and hope for so many kids who deserve it. You can feel the impact of his work everywhere in the kids’ laughter, in their excitement to learn, and in the sense of community he’s built. I’m so grateful to have seen it firsthand. Paul is genuinely changing lives, one day at a time.

Energy, energy, so much energy! This is the first thing you think when you meet Paul. He’s such a kind person — he will provide you with everything you need; you just have to ask. The experience at the school is great, and you will be surrounded by Paul’s team and the kids (they are lovely). I highly recommend this experience, and if you can teach the kids something more, it will be very precious for them. 😉
Thank you, Paul, for having me — I wish you all the best!

Staying with Aisha has been a time of incredible peace. She has left behind a treasure trove of memories that we hold dear. The children still remember her fondly as "lovely Aisha." Her jolly, smiling face is a window into her deeply compassionate heart. She will never be forgotten.

Realmente no tengo palabras para describir esta gran experiencia. Gracias a Paul, Promise y todas las personas con quienes compartí. Los niños son demasiado cariñosos, las personas tan amables.
Tuve la oportunidad de compartir con la comunidad y estoy totalmente agradecida por la oportunidad que nos brindan para vivir esta experiencia.
No será la primera ni última vez que haga un voluntariado y volvería muchas veces a hacer mi voluntariado con ustedes. Gracias por dejarme ver la realidad y gracias por cada enseñanza.
Mis mejores energías para continuar con este proyecto tan bonito.

I had an amazing time in Masaka Uganda! Paul and his family made me feel like home, and that I was a part of it. Made me see the reality of struggling, but not matter how hard is for the kids you will always will see them with a smile, and something we should all learn. Change my perspective. But had the greatest time
