🌍 About the Project

Join this life-changing volunteering experience in Kampala, the vibrant capital of Uganda, and make a lasting impact on children’s education and future! 🌞

The “Volunteer for Community School Support” project takes place at Treasure Junior School, a community-based initiative founded in 2009 to support orphans and vulnerable children affected by war and HIV/AIDS. Today, the school provides education and care for more than 270 children aged 3–15 in one of Kampala’s most underprivileged suburbs.

As an ESC volunteer, you’ll contribute to classroom teaching, creative learning activities, and digital skills development, empowering both students and teachers. You’ll help create joyful learning spaces, share European values, and support local efforts for inclusion and education for all.
