What the Mission Trip Will Be Like
Goals of this Project:
- Provide essential care and support to vulnerable young women
- Improve the future prospects of abused and disadvantaged women through education and skills
- Give vulnerable women quality care, compassion and a sense of hope
- Enable inter-cultural exchange which benefits both locals and international volunteers alike.
How You Can Help:
Volunteers on this program play an essential role in helping women, young and old, escape from the cycle of violence and ingrained gender abuses prevalent in Uganda. Participants will spend their time supporting women and assisting the local staff as needed. Volunteers can be involved in a variety of roles dependent on their skills and preferences including education, vocational training (such as tailoring, hairdressing, gardening, cooking, Basket making, cleaning etc), business and life skills.Those trained in counselling, psychology or psychiatry can work in their area of expertise to help abused women recover from traumatic past events. This is a challenging but hugely rewarding placement for any volunteer.
Volunteers will contribute in a number of ways on this program and can expect to undertake the following tasks:
- Support women in a number of ways
- Provide education on a variety of topics
- Organize activities and provide skill-based training
- Work on awareness raising initiatives
Requirements: 18yo+
Mission Trips Uganda welcomes all those 18 years and over who wish to help us provide support to some of Uganda's most marginalized and vulnerable women. While this challenging project does not require participants to have a background in the fields of social work, counselling and/or Women’s studies, as there are many ways you can assist, volunteers with suitable education, qualifications or experience are highly sought after. Regardless, a volunteer’s individual role can often be tailored to suit their particular skills and interests. All applicants must of course display a genuine willingness to help, show drive and initiative, and bring a positive 'can-do' attitude. If this sounds like you, we want you on the team!
Additionally, volunteers applying to join this program will be required to supply to following documentation:
- Emergency contact
- Passport
- Recommendation letter from your college or Church

Relation of Opportunity to National Church and/or Long-term Goals
Our Short-term mission volunteers work alongside the Ugandan staff and Ugandan local communities during all the outreaches . We carry out our Mission programs week to week and we partner with the local churches, local organizations and communities to better serve the Ugandan people. The Ideas shared by short-term volunteers are usually implemented into the long term activities of the projects.
Additional Trip Information
Individual Short-term Mission Trips:
Short-term missions trips range from 1 weeks to 5 months. Volunteers are welcome to come as individuals and join our weekly outreach programs and work in the village with community who need help constructing anything from a hut, to a village kitchen, livestock shelters, etc. There are many elderly grandparents looking after young children who need help fixing their hut, we identify these families in need.
Program Fees
At Mission Trips Uganda, we try to make the cost of our trips as reasonable as possible. If this trip is Gods will then He will provide you with the necessary funding.
Administration Fee $250; This is due to the Uganda office two weeks after your application is accepted and approved.
In addition to the administration fee, there is a mission fee payable to Mission Trips Uganda based on the length of time you plan to serve:
Length of Trip Mission Fee
1 week $725
10 days 2 weeks $950
3 weeks $1,200
4 weeks $1,400
5 weeks $1,600
6 weeks $1,800
7 weeks $2,000
8 weeks $2,200
3-4 months $900/month
5 months+ $800/month
Mission fees are due to the Uganda office at least 35 days prior to arrival in Africa.
Please note the if your stay is a few days after a week long interval, but doesnt make a full extra week of stay the fee is $75 per day. For example, if you sign up for a 2 week trip and your scheduled arrival and departure in country is actually 2 weeks and 2 days the additional fee would be $150 for the 2 additional days.
If you sense that God is calling you to go to Africa, we would love to have you serve with us.
