Engaging in Volunteer Work
The Milele Foundation presents exciting volunteering opportunities in Uganda, specifically within Kampala and nearby communities. If the idea of bringing a group along appeals to you, we are more than eager to be your hosts! We extend an invitation to teams comprising 8 to 15 individuals to submit their applications for our upcoming trips
In most cases, these teams will collaborate with us in schools to undertake meaningful service projects. Alongside this, they will get the chance to spend quality time with children, immerse themselves in Ugandan life and culture, and even embark on a safari or other tours (subject to budget considerations).
For those who lack a team consisting of at least 8 members, there’s an option to team up with other smaller groups
We’re excited to invite you to join us on a travel adventure! Our service trips welcome a diverse range of groups, including Youth Groups, High Schools, Life / Cell Groups, Churches, University Students, Families, Workmates, Friends
