Social Work with Children in Uganda

Our partner organization in Kampala offers fulltime placement for volunteers to perform social work with children.

The organization has established an independent foster care system which currently monitors over 240 vulnerable / orphan children in the Wakiso District. They train local staff and foreign volunteers as caregivers who visit the children regularly. Some of these children's homes have as many as 17 kids living there, with up to four caregivers per home (two resident and two who came during the day.).

There is a lot of opportunity here for dedicated volunteer to assist with the existing training programs and for qualified volunteers to share skills with the caregivers.
