Volunteering in Mukono offers a unique opportunity to give back to rural communities through participation in grassroots projects. On top of this, you will gain an insight into the daily living conditions of locals.

As a volunteer, you will experience traditional Ugandan life and take part in daily activities. These include helping in construction and building, visiting elderly villagers, teaching children outside their classrooms, assisting in setting up vegetable gardens, giving youth health talks, teaching English to high school students, feeding animals, and organizing health outreach programs.

Ssamba Foundation operates in rural communities where dirt roads turn to sticky mud when it rains and into dust when the climate is dry. The main transport is Boda- Boda bikes, which share the road with animals and bicycles.

Like a big part of Uganda, these communities have households struggling to meet their basic needs; much less putting their kids in school. Their main sources of income include small-scale animal rearing, selling fruits and vegetables, brickmaking, and other manual labor jobs.
