About this Experience

Volunteer with Karangura Eco-Camp and combine the adventure of community tourism with the profound satisfaction of supporting education for orphaned and vulnerable children in the Rwenzori Area. Your experience won't just be a trip; it'll be a chance to directly contribute to the survival, development, protection, and participation rights of Uganda's future generation. The Heart of the Programme: Why We Need You: Uganda has one of the world's youngest populations, yet a significant number of children—nearly 19 million—face undesirable living conditions characterized by poverty, exploitation, and inadequate access to health and education services. Karangura Eco-Camp uses a portion of the profits generated from its tourism activities to fund a Charity Programme that empowers these children. This programme focuses on providing: • Education: Covering school fees, lunch fees, uniforms, and scholastic materials. • Basic Healthcare: Ensuring the students stay healthy enough to attend school and thrive. Your presence as a volunteer helps us sustain and expand this vital mission, working towards a future where these children become self-reliant and successful members of their community. Your Volunteer Journey: Getting Involved: While the core focus of the charity is financial support derived from tourism, a volunteer's contribution is invaluable, offering direct, hands-on engagement and capacity building. Possible Volunteer Activities: Your specific role will be tailored to your skills and the current needs of the programme, but could include direct student support, Program Monitoring and Reporting, Community Engagement, Skills training/workshops. The Volunteer Lifestyle: You’ll be based at the Karangura Eco-Camp, enjoying a truly authentic experience in the beautiful Rwenzori foothills. You’ll be immersed in the local culture, working alongside dedicated camp staff and community members. This is a chance to see the direct, tangible result of every bit of effort and funding. Can't Volunteer? Other Ways to Support: If you are unable to join us on the ground, your financial generosity is what keeps our students in school. We prioritize making your support sustainable and transparent. • Sponsor a Child for a Year: A commitment of $30 per month ($360 annually) provides comprehensive support, covering a child's school fees, materials, and basic healthcare. • Give a One-Time Gift: Your single donation can cover immediate needs like tuition, uniforms, books, or critical supplies for multiple students.
