A Guide to Volunteering Abroad in Uganda
Best Locations
Iganga is a lively town of about 40,000 that sits just north of Lake Victoria on one of Uganda’s most used highways. The immediate area surrounding the highway feels urbanized and busy and the route has ensured that Iganga has access to modern facilities. But, the true Iganga can be reached just a few minutes off the busy route and has a much more laid back and rural feel. Its centralized marketplace is another source of its energetic feel, but also provides a window into local goods.
Kampala is the capital of Uganda and is home to many NGOs headquarters. It is located just off the northern banks of Lake Victoria and built into several large hills. Kampala is the largest city in Uganda with a population of around 1.2 million.
Rural Areas. Over 80 percent of Uganda’s population lives in rural areas and while poverty levels have improved, this is more true for urban areas, leaving the vast majority of Ugandans still living in poverty specifically in the northern areas. Many rural volunteer projects in Uganda will work in community education, humanitarian issues, agricultural practices, or resource management.
