Work in an Orphanage

Numerous deaths resulting from AIDS have caused a dramatic increase in orphans in Uganda. Parents dying of AIDS often leave a legacy of infected children being born into a hunger-stricken existence, where their parents usually die before they can care for their own children. Rustic Volunteer Travel’s partner orphanages in Uganda provide not only housing for these children, but also a chance at an education and hope for the future. However, they are understaffed and need virtually any and all assistance possible in continuing to offer these vitally important. Volunteers/travelers can benefit by supplying these orphans with much-needed love and companionship as well as a solid foundation to meet their needs and nurture their interests, goals and ultimately make their dreams for a brighter future come to fruition.
