📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
The project aims to initiate community actions that preserve natural heritage with a focus on animal protection and afforestation, as well as to raise awareness of the indigenous Batwa community in Kasese district, and create synergies between Batwa’s culture and other communities in Uganda.
💼 What the programme involves
The volunteers will learn more about the site and its development through guided tours and interaction with local communities who will share insight and social entrepreneurship experiences. They will also participate in training that focus on various themes, such as social entrepreneurship and communication skills with a special look at social media. Volunteers will be involved in other hands-on activities on the site’s conservation, including tree planting, rehabilitating injured animals, cleaning up and reconstruction, documenting gorillas, etc.
