Over the years, the projects/organizations within the Trust, for example, Mukisa Foundation and Dawn have had many volunteers. We have had both local and international students and volunteers from different parts of the world, including Germany, UK, USA, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong and India. Within the Trust, we now have a variety of other voluntary work options from different organizations within the network forum.
We are the organization of choice for anyone who wants to work with children with special needs. We accept both qualified professionals (those with experience) and young people looking for experience, all we ask is that the volunteer loves our kids, is hard working and committed to helping us achieve our goals for children with special needs in Uganda.
