About the project
STEP BY STEP PRIMARY SCHOOL
📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Our partner in Uganda is a registered non-governmental organization (NGO) focused on empowering youth through community development projects. They offer opportunities for international volunteers to contribute to these initiatives through workcamps and cultural exchange programs. The organization is non-profit and operates without any political, religious, or sectarian affiliations.
💼 What the programme involves
The volunteer will be expected to assist the full-time staff by participating in the following:
• Assisting with the teaching of Math and English ;
• Engaging in games and sports with the children ;
• Participating in Music, dance and drama ;
• Offering support with the school gardening.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Volunteers have two accommodation options: the organization's guesthouse or a homestay with a local family.
The guesthouse offers shared rooms (typically 2-4 people) and provides a comfortable, though not luxurious, living space.
Choosing a homestay with a host family provides a deeper immersion into Ugandan culture and daily life.
🍲 Food
Volunteers staying at the guesthouse prepare their own meals. Our ugandan partner provides a gas cooker, refrigerator, and utensils. This allows the volunteer to explore local markets and try their hand at Ugandan cuisine. Popular dishes include matoke (steamed plantains), luwombo (steamed meat or fish in banana leaves), and groundnut stew.
Homestay volunteers typically share meals with their host family, offering a unique culinary and cultural experience.
