I had such an amazing experience with the organization and his entire family (which I quickly felt a part of). Everyone welcomed me into their home and made me feel safe and comfortable in every way. If you stay here, you will fully experience Uganda with the best locals. The kids are the best and truly show their gratitude towards you. I got so attached and it was hard to say goodbye.

I rarely write reviews, but this time I couldn't wait. From the moment you arrive, the organization welcomes you like family. The children are so excited, and the place truly feels like a home away from home. I've volunteered with many NGOs, and this is one of the best. The kids still sleep in an old building and sometimes lack food, so bringing clothes, toys, and school supplies is really appreciated. It's one of the most heartwarming experiences I've ever had. Your money is well spen: the organization is transparent, and just €15 a day helps feed the orphans. Highly recommended.

Thank you for the unforgettable time! I had an adventurous and enriching experience surrounded by wonderful and loving people. the organization, the founder, and his wife are incredibly warm and welcoming, as is the organization's mother, who immediately makes you feel like part of the family. The children are very respectful, kind, and full of joy. You feel welcome from the very beginning and quickly at home. I can truly recommend the organization with all my heart. It is an inspiring organization with a big heart and an important mission. Thank you so much for everything❤️

Our experience in Uganda was something we will carry in our hearts forever. Thanks to our wonderful host, we were able to experience the true essence of this country: the simplicity, strength and warmth of its people. Every day was a gift, full of discoveries, smiles and moments that made us reflect on the value of the little things. Despite the poverty and difficulties of local life, we found immense human wealth, dignity and generosity that touched us deeply. We learned so much — not only about Ugandan culture, but also about ourselves. Thank you for welcoming us as part of the family 🇺🇬❤️

At first, I was nervous as I had no volunteer experience and had never been away from home this long. But in these 5 weeks, the organization and Shaki gave me a feeling of safety, love, and truly coming home. The passion with which everyone cares for the children and community deserves the highest respect. Seeing how every help is valued touched me deeply. This journey healed and shaped me in so many ways, and I can recommend it to everyone. If you want to know local life, have fun and find new friends the organization is perfect for you. Webale to all of you and I cant't wait to see you again soon!
