By offering our early childhood education curriculum, also our less privileged children from a partner community based organization from Kampala slum called Community Empowerment for Village Development (CEFOVID) get an opportunity to share equally the same foundation with others.

The volunteer has the possibility to choose between staying in the guesthouse, with different international volunteers (sharing room, normally 2-4 people) or to stay in a host family. Accommodation is at the UPA Guesthouse, average but not luxury.
Volunteers prepare their own food. UPA provides gas cooker, a fridge, and utensils.
Alternatively, a volunteer can stay with a host family to be more exposed to the Ugandan culture.
UPA does not give pocket money to the volunteers.
The volunteers must apply for a tourist visa online with this link. https://www.visas.immigration.go.ug/ . This should be done a couple of weeks or months before the departure date.
The volunteer is required to come with his/her insurance.
Participants are required to pay a participation fee of Euro 500 (five hundred Euros) on arrival for a period of 1- 3months and 80 Euros (eighty Euros) in advance for each additional month

The interested volunteers are requested to contact our partners in their respective countries so as be guided on the application process.
