  Description

  Hello and Greetings,
  
  My name is Gerald. I am a social worker and community coordinator for our community-based organization, which is located in Manafwa district in Eastern Uganda.
  
  As a community organization, we currently engage in social activities that primarily target helping women, young people, families, and children.
  
  We aim to build a strong community where individuals can live with dignity through improved education, reproductive health services, clean water and sanitation, environmental conservation, advocacy for children's rights, food security, gender equality, and promoting connections within the community.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  Acquiring a new language brings numerous advantages, including access to various opportunities and facilitating global connections.
  
  Discovering new destinations can create long-lasting memories, providing one of the most rewarding experiences possible. Those memories and that time will always be with us.
  
  Participating in cultural exchange is not just about gaining knowledge; it's about undergoing a transformative experience that broadens your horizons, deepens your understanding of the world, and broadens your mind.
  
  One of the key benefits of cultural exchanges is forming lasting friendships with people from other countries.

  Who can Volunteer?
  
  Anyone can participate in our volunteer program to assist with youths, women, children, and community activities with community members.
  Everyone who wants to participate in our community-based activities to bring about societal change and have an impact is encouraged to join and volunteer. Volunteers can participate in the following community-based activities and programs.
  
  1. HIV/AIDS initiatives.
  - Behavioural interventions aim to lower the chances of HIV transmission by addressing risky behaviours like providing information (such as sex education), offering counseling and other types of psycho-social support, and promoting safe infant feeding guidelines, as well as programs to reduce stigma and discrimination.
  
  - Arranging outreach initiatives in the community to increase awareness about HIV/AIDS and provide education on preventing mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV. Arranging diverse community-based events, such as sports for youths and adults, is a key component of our efforts to mobilize the community and raise awareness about HIV/AIDS.
  
  - Education and training on safe sex practices, such as condom use, abstinence, and fidelity(Being faithful to one partner), are essential methods to prevent sexually transmitted infections.
  Meetings are conducted in the village to enlighten people about the risks of HIV/AIDS, discuss prevention methods, and advocate for the elimination of stigma against HIV individuals.
  
  2. The family planning program
  - Information awareness on family planning to assist community members in comprehending their sexual and reproductive health.
  It is important to raise awareness and sensitize individuals about the availability of family planning services. By doing so, we can help individuals and families make informed decisions about their reproductive health, which can lead to improved health outcomes and increased access to resources. Let's work together to ensure that everyone has access to the information they need to make the best decisions for themselves and their families.
  
  3. Support and care for children in the community.
  Volunteers can offer their time to support and care for vulnerable and disadvantaged children in the community.
  
  4. The school.
  - Instruct/teach at the school, organise and assist with school events and activities.
  
  5. Tailoring: Training young girls and women to develop skills in tailoring.
  The program aims to educate and empower girls and women by offering skills training in tailoring to enhance their quality of life. Volunteers can assist by creating strategies for various initiatives.
  
  6. First Aid training. We are building resilience by training families & communities to respond to emergencies.
  Teach families and the community how to administer basic first aid, such as wound care and proportions. Acquiring the knowledge and skills in Basic First Aid will empower families and community members to handle emergencies effectively, bandage applications, and positively impact the community.
  
  7. The tree planting project.
  The Tree Planting Project is a local initiative that strives to assist our community and society in general in mitigating the effects of climate change. United, we can improve our community by making it cleaner, more sustainable, and prepared for the impacts of climate change. Volunteers are encouraged to join in tree-planting activities and community walks.
  
  We are open to anyone interested in volunteering with our organization to impact many lives positively.
  
  Best Regards & hope to have you here with us.

  Cet hôte fait payer des frais

  en savoir plus

  Pourquoi workaway.info autorise-t-il certains hôtes à faire payer des frais ?

  Dans les pays en voie de développement (où la plupart des hôtes sont engagés dans des associations caritatives ou des programmes de développement au service de la communauté locale), certains de nos hôtes peuvent demander aux workawayers de faire un petit don pour aider la famille d'accueil ou l’association (souvent moins de 5 dollars par jour). Workaway n'autorise cette demande de don que si le don va directement à la famille ou à l'association et s'il ne sert qu’à couvrir les frais de séjour des volontaires. (Les annonces où l’hôte demande des frais seront clairement identifiées dans la liste d'annonces).
  Nous n'autorisons en aucun cas les annonces d'agences, d’intermédiaires ou de projets qui nous semblent vouloir profiter des volontaires.
