Once you have volunteered you won’t be the same again!
Volunteer
Making a decision to volunteer is a personal one, be it a sense of social responsibility; personal growth; a way to gain a new perspective of the world; or a desire to learn about a new country and culture. Whatever your reasons, it is a great way to contribute and support local communities.
Why Kawempe Home Care (KHC)?
KHC programs are run at a local level and we rely solely on charitable funding and volunteer contributions. Without this help the organisation would not be able to provide the valuable services we do for our disadvantaged clients in the community. Our projects are in need of your transferable skills. If you believe you can share your skills we would love to hear from you.
