🏢 About the local organisation
The Medium and Long Term Volunteer Program (MLTV program) is an international volunteer exchange program
under Uganda Pioneers' Association (UPA). UPA has hosted international volunteers since the organization was started
in 1989. UPA uses volunteer exchange and intercultural cooperation as tools for fulfilling its overall aim:
To promote community based development, intercultural cooperation and youth participation through voluntary work.

'e Promote and improve natural and acquired skills useful to the community 'e Promote and exchange cultures in order
to create friendship and mutual understanding 'e Encourage the youth as dynamic age group to take leading roles in
development UPA partners with organisations, institutions, UPA branches and projects that aim to develop local
communities reduce poverty and promote volunteerism. The following is an outline of organisations, institutions
and projects that host volunteers from UPA. The aim of the outline is to assist future volunteers to choose a
particular project or placement that he/she wishes to work with and to direct UPA when identifying host places that
matches the qualifications and wishes of the volunteer. UPA will strive to fulfill the first priorities of the volunteer
but we cannot fully guarantee that a specific placement will be available when the volunteer arrives.

🏠 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.
