Program Details

The accomodation is a modern 3 bedroom house with easy access to water, electricity and internet. We are still doing some improvements to the place with some house finishing works still ongoing.

Our address is very close to the main road. Volunteers will be provided with a private room with a bunker bed in the same house as the hosts in Nkoowe (Wakiso), on the outskirts of the capital city, Kampala.

Meals are shared with the host and include a mix of local and foreign dishes. We also look forward to tasting and learning how to cook some of your favourite traditional dishes.
