Volunteering

Make a Lasting Impact in East Africa

Rwanda and Uganda offer diverse volunteering experiences, from wildlife conservation to community development. Volunteers can work with organizations such as the Rwanda Wildlife Foundation, Uganda Wildlife Authority, or local community groups focused on health, entrepreneurship, and economic development. Programs range from two to twelve weeks, providing flexibility for individuals with varying schedules. Volunteers can expect to gain valuable skills, immerse themselves in local culture, and develop lasting connections with fellow volunteers and community members.

Before embarking on a volunteering experience with Africa Sustainable Journeys, individuals should research organizations thoroughly, ensuring alignment with their values and goals. Proper vaccinations, medical insurance, and visa requirements should also be addressed. Once in-country, volunteers can expect comprehensive support from local staff, including pre-departure briefings, safe accommodation, and 24/7 assistance. By volunteering in Rwanda and Uganda, individuals can contribute meaningfully to local communities and conservation efforts while gaining invaluable life experiences through opportunities such as:

Wildlife conservation: Assisting with animal care, rehabilitation, and research projects
Community development: education support, local entrepreneurship, and economic development
Sustainable agriculture: environmentally friendly farming practices
