Uganda

Karibu sana Uganda! Welcome to Uganda, the undiscovered gem of East Africa.

Uganda is home to a resilient people who are now finding stability in a country that has experienced hard times. Order has now returned, yet aid and volunteer work is still needed to fully re-establish Uganda's ability to provide its own social care and food. Uganda's population has also suffered from HIV, and this has left many orphans with no one to protect or provide them with a stable home. WAVA works directly with a charity in Masaka, known to be amongst the safest and most welcoming areas in Uganda. Not only will volunteers recieve an incredible life changing experience by visiting Uganda, but they will also be providing a life changing experience for the children that they will be volunteering with.

Uganda welcomes all visitors to this incredibly diverse and beautiful land. Attractions such as Lake Victoria and the Mountains of the Moon, as well as the enigmatic mountain gorillas, bring in inquisitive tourists hoping to uncover a world of undiscovered wonders. A land of widely contrasting landscapes, from rich, verdant forests and mountains, to breathtaking savannahs, Uganda truly is one of the undiscovered gems of Africa...
