Program Details

Volunteers who can get some simple building raw materials, writing project proposals for construction will be highly welcome, those with ideas that can make a community a better place are also welcome.

Farming inputs and equipment are highly needed to support the agricultural sector at school and community.

Accommodation & Meals:
🏡 Volunteers stay in Kanoni town, where there is electricity, clean water, and fresh air. Bedrooms with mattresses and bed sheets are provided.
🍲 Three meals a day are included, featuring local East African food such as matooke, cassava, beans, posho, sweet potatoes, groundnuts, and vegetables. (If you’d like something special, local restaurants are nearby at a small cost.)

Transport:
Since schools don’t have electricity and are located in rural areas, volunteers stay in Kanoni town and travel to schools by boda bodas (motorbikes). We currently support three schools in the Gomba district.

Our daily activities begin at 8:00 am and each day has it's own schedule. We are flexible and schedules can be changed or adjusted depending on the program of the day.
