Kumi in Eastern Uganda will give you a taste of the ‘real Africa’. The colours are bright, the welcomes are big, the wildlife is jaw-dropping and the scenery is breath-taking. However, underneath that traditional view, the need is significant.
Please note that the trip dates may vary a day either way due to flight availability.
Like most of Africa Uganda has a young population which is growing fast. Almost half of Kumi is under 15 and are all desperate for education. Schools here are bursting at the seams and are in need of additional classrooms.
Mornings: You will either be building new school facilities or renovating existing ones. We have helped to build 9 11 new classrooms at various schools in Kumi's vulnerable communities, as well as refurbish others. We have also built 2 latrine blocks, 4 teacher's homes, refurbished dormitories, built and re-roofed many traditional homes in remote villages as well as providing a fence for the COHAD (children's home) site with other repair works. in 2018/19 you will be helping to build classrooms at Kumi Bazaar School - see team pages for more info.
Afternoon: Support local community projects – including the experience of building a traditional Ugandan village home with a family.
As well as visiting a coffee plantation, you will enjoy a safari and witness the spectacular Sipi Falls. Our words cannot describe the magnificent view over this beautiful land.
The teams in Uganda Kumi have been doing an incredible job. Here are a few of the most recent stories and stats from the projects...
