a group of people, please contact us for possibilities.

The application process is very simple, just email us your resume, skills, experience, age and references and reason why you would like to come and volunteer with us and for how long would

Due to the isolated setting of the MCF projects and the stress of volunteering internationally, it is

important for us to know about an applicant’s ability and health prior to

beginning service. This information allows us to make a well-based decision in

the interest of the MCF project and the applicant and helps us to support the

volunteer during his or her service at MCF. All information is kept confidential.

Volunteer Program

The volunteer program at Marles children's Foundation  is full of opportunities.

We invite people of all backgrounds to participate in the endeavor to create a life of dignity for street children, disadvantaged youth and orphaned children in Uganda where we serve.

We open this invitation to people who have the desire to be of service to the MCF communities in Kampala, Mende at Wakiso district and who have an open heart and mind.

For the volunteers, our program

offers a wide range of experiences from unique friendships and life enriching

cross-cultural encounters to work experience rarely available in the outside

world. The idea of having volunteers here at MCF is to support our staff

members and to give additional attention to our children and youth projects.

Our volunteers have the

opportunity to share their talents and knowledge while serving others. Often

our volunteers are highly trained and skilled individuals whom MCF otherwise

could not afford or find in the places where our projects are located.

Volunteers always bring fresh ideas and perspectives that help meet the

challenges of our daily operations.

You will have the opportunity to

try different roles and projects, dependent on your interests and skills. These

volunteer opportunities do not require specialized skills (although these would

be an advantage), and we accept volunteers for both short and long-term

placements, all the year round. Volunteers certainly gain an amazing life

experience from their participation in our placement program. On first arrival,

most volunteers sample all the projects before selecting the tasks that suit

them best.

You just have to let us know

where you want to go and we will take you there and information is available

for you. The type of work you are involved with will be dependent on your

interests, abilities, level of experience as well as your comfort levels.
