About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

West Nile region and especially its rural parts is considered as one of the regions of Uganda that faces the highest levels of poverty. As a result, these rural communities suffer from practically no access to basic healthcare and preventive services, poor education and high joblessness level due to almost no opportunities for skills development and capacity building. One of the most affected parts of Uganda are Districts of Pakwach, Arua and Nebbi which are approximately 8 hours drive from the capital city Kampala. The further from the main city you are, the less available all these above mentioned services are. With this project we aim to break this never-ending cycle of unwell being among rural communities of West Nile. First, we plan to improve the availability of basic healthcare and preventive services. Once their fundamental needs like health conditions are improved, we can move to another level of health education and later skills development training.

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
