🏠 Accommodation on site

Accommodation UPA has a guesthouse for the volunteers. We can accommodate about 18 volunteers at a time. The volunteers have to share room with others. The guesthouse is well equipped. It has one kitchen, a bathroom and a toilet. It is not very luxury but fulfills the basic needs and standards. Apart form the guesthouse you can choose to stay with a host family. The host families are either in the same area with the guesthouse and the UPA office or can be chosen close to your project. Staying with a host family gives you the chance to get in touch with the Ugandan culture on a different level than staying in the guesthouse among other foreign volunteers, even though the standard of living might be more basic than in the guesthouse. Accommodation will be at the UPA guest house in Nansana or maybe hosted directly at the project. It is also possible to stay in a host family.
