You can also come while still studying, as we also offer school projects and internships. Some examples include: nurses, teachers, sports trainers, entertainment, community projects, agriculture, horticulture, and various other interests. Just let us know what the requirements are for school and we can try to make it fit. Email us or register via the registration form to discuss the options.
You will be staying in our volunteer accommodation at Hotel Hollandia, located right above the schools on the same hill in Bukomansimbi. You will eat in our restaurant as well. You will have a private room and 3 warm meals a day.
The age requirement is a minimum of 17 years old, with no maximum age! The most important factors are that you are mature, responsible, and can communicate in English. If you are below 17 but demonstrate maturity and your parents approve, we can make exceptions.
As a volunteer, you will pay €30 a day if you stay for shorter than 30 days and €25 a day if you stay longer than 30 days; for accommodation, three meals a day (excluding drinks), room cleaning, laundry, etc. This fee is just to cover costs, so you will pay less compared to other guests since you’re volunteering. In addition, you will be responsible for your own plane ticket, vaccinations (Yellow Fever is mandatory), visa, and other activities.
You’re pickup and drop off will be arranged by us and is included in your volunteering package. If needed, we can also arrange a hotel on the first or last night in entebbe to ensure a smooth departure or arrival.
You can decide when and for how long you want to come, as long as it is for at least two weeks. If you are only coming for a few weeks, it is important that you avoid the children’s holidays. The children are in school on the following dates:
2-2-2026 till 1-5-2026
25-5-2025 till 21-8-2026
14-9-2026 till 4-12-2026
From now on, UP4S volunteers can choose:
pay for your stay, or bring in five child sponsors and stay for free.
Not only will you help children directly, you’ll also get the chance to win a free safari in Uganda.
