Itinerary for your Volunteer Work Team or just for you in the North of Uganda at the Pader Orphans Caring Project

Northern Uganda has been peaceful for the past two years and the rebuilding of the North of Uganda is well under way.  Your team can assist in the rebuilding process of a portion of Uganda that has seen over 20 some years of war and destruction.

Impact Northern Uganda and the rebuilding process by assisting with your team of Volunteers at the Pader Orphans Caring Project

The need on the surface is simply overwhelming.  No matter where your abilities are, you can give yourself for 10 to 14 days and give of yourself.  One of the most enriching times in your life, a time you will never forget as you come to assist the people, the children, of northern Uganda

You can organize a team, it is best that team members are over 18 years of age, those who are younger can come with parents or a team with qualified team leader.

There is a need for medical teams of most any type, builders and here the building of a home is quite easy and one uses locally made bricks and a house can be built in just a few days. The Pader Orphans Caring Project has touched and is touching the lives of hundreds of children and your investment of time and resources will assist preparing children for a better tomorrow.

Teachers, tutors, water related skills, farming, livestock farming, and anything else, since the need is simply so great and NGO's, Churches and the government simply do not have the resources to get the job done.

If you are coming as a team, we can advice you in the raising of funds for a project in the north of Uganda and how to raise your own funds for the trip.

Two weeks or more, that will change you forever.
