    Description

    Volunteer with Women in Uganda

    Volunteering at a Kyampisi Women Empowerment Resource Centre typically involves supporting women through education, skills training, and getting involved in various daily empowerment programs, projects and activities outlined above.

    Volunteers can contribute by teaching basic skills like English and math, providing vocational training, assisting with business development, and offering mentorship. The goal is to enhance women's employability, improve their economic independence, and boost their confidence.

    Volunteers can also get involved in our construction and building work at the centre (subject to stage level) and fundraising support towards the cause. We also need volunteers to support our childcare development activities.

    Specific volunteer roles and activities:

    Education and Training: Teaching basic literacy and numeracy skills. Providing vocational training in areas like tailoring, hairdressing, or other marketable skills. Conducting workshops on financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and other life skills.

    Mentorship and Support: Offering guidance and support to women in developing their business ideas. Mentoring women in areas such as business management, marketing, and customer service. Providing emotional support and encouragement to women facing challenges.

    Community Engagement: Assisting with fundraising and resource mobilization. Participating in community outreach and advocacy efforts. Helping to create a supportive and empowering environment for women.

    Benefits of volunteering with us:

    Personal Growth: Volunteers gain valuable skills, learn about different cultures, and develop a greater sense of social responsibility.

    Making a Difference: Volunteers have the opportunity to directly impact the lives of women and contribute to their empowerment.

    Cultural Exchange: Volunteers can learn about new cultures and traditions while sharing their own knowledge and skills.
