VOLUNTOURISM IN UGANDA
Volunteer travel participants share a common desire to “give back to the world”. This could be in terms of doing something beneficial to the world as a whole, to a non-profit motivated organization, to a particular community, or the natural environment whilst experiencing new places, having fun, and promoting sustainable and responsible travel.
This is done in many ways; ranging from helping in cleaning local wildlife areas, giving goods and money to local schools or marginalized groups of people, to intense volunteer programs like medical aid services, scientific research and education, and any other technical services especially to community development projects of a foreign country.
Uganda Community Travel recognizes Voluntourism as one way of contributing towards the development of environmentally, economically and culturally responsible travel because of its anticipated positive outcomes.
As one of our motives behind the foundation of Uganda Community Travel, we do believe that there are so many travelers out there who are able and willing to have an opportunity to bring benefits to the people in the underdeveloped world like Uganda. Besides, we have received a good number of travelers who have shown interest in helping the local person in one way or the other. Thus we do believe that we stand in a better position as a local partner to make sure that whatever it meant for the positive empowerment of our communities is effectively and efficiently delivered to the intended recipient since we have a long-standing and rich relationship with our local communities.
As Uganda offers various places for volunteer-related community-based travel we provide you an opportunity to tailor-make your Voluntourism packages and we shall serve you beyond your expectations. Therefore regarding any Uganda community travel give us a try and we shall serve you in the lines of your budget.
