🏢 About the local organisation
Uganda Voluntary Development Association (UVDA) is a volunteer organisation dedicated to promoting a culture of peace by organising international voluntary projects for people of all ages and backgrounds especially youth 15 - 35 years. UVDA is a national wide organisation with a representative of approx. 5000 members and alumni. It was one of the first organisations to divest itself of all political or religious affiliations in its work of promoting peace and intercultural understanding and cooperation through practical action. Throughout the years UVDA has made a major contribution to the development of the main forms of volunteering. Year after year, the organisation enables volunteers to participate in community projects. Living and working together with people of different backgrounds helps volunteers to break down barriers and prejudices; it allows them to experience a world of mutual respect and understanding.
