Construction work

Volunteers are needed for the on-going construction and water building projects in the community. Volunteers needed for manual labor jobs working alongside skilled and unskilled local workers. Some tasks include farming, pig rearing, construction of bole holes, expansion, water well building, construction of roads and renovation work. Volunteers do not need prior experience, but skilled workers are very welcome. This is a very hand on, hands dirty sort of program. Enthusiasm, a good sense of humor and helping spirit are required. Volunteer can also spend time in the children's school teaching classes.

Volunteers will make invaluable contributions to local communities' livelihoods, infrastructures, education facilities and health care facilities. The communities that the organization works with are some of the poorest in the region and despite Government concern, the schools and child care centres in the villages are not well maintained. By devoting their time, energy and expertise, the participants, not only maintain the existing buildings but also develop new facilities around them, which would otherwise be difficult for the communities to achieve single-handedly.

Project Highlights Includes:

Renovating, painting and white-washing in schools, orphanages and child care centres, helping with sanitation by building common toilets, developing and refurbishing sports fields, helping the poor in constructing houses, cleaning the village area, planting trees, developing garbage facilities, participating in health campaigns, getting involved in workshops, admiring the beauty of the city Kampala and the surrounding villages, enjoying cultural dancing and music shows

Many of our volunteer programs start as low as $150 USD and there are no other organizations anywhere that can match that. We work with many of the same associations as other volunteer programs and provide every service they do as well, but International Volunteers Network does it for a much lower price that can't be beaten.
