There is room for both long and short-term volunteers to run workshops and work on other projects.BUVAD is a volunteer run organization with no paid staff.  Many of the programmes BUVAD operates are designed around the length of time a person might stay on as a volunteer.  There is room for both long and short-term volunteers to run workshops and work on other projects.

BUVAD is an indigenous founded Non Profit organization operational in Kayunga District of Uganda. We are a charity run by local people and nationally registered. Reg. No: S.5914/8930 with the NGO Board of Uganda East Africa.

BUVAD is aware of the many volunteer opportunities that exist in Africa and wants to make a volunteer's decision to come to Uganda as straightforward and painless as possible.  Many non-profits running on volunteer time and effort leave many questions unanswered, and the process of making that decision is harder than it should be.  BUVAD intends to make as much information possible on the front end in an attempt to make this a more transparent process.

There is a lot of room for independence and decision-making when you volunteer for BUVAD.  While BUVAD has set up specific subjects in its programmes for implementation, BUVAD answers to its community and is able to change as the communities needs change.  This enables you, as a volunteer working in the field, to be the eyes and ears of BUVAD.  As you have the freedom to react as you see fit.

BUVAD assumes you will have alot of interest in the projects you wish to you wish to participate in.  What we need over and above your valuable knowledge is that you as an individual are able to act with a high degree of responsibility, independence and that you are by nature a proactive person.  We already know by first hand experience that most people willing to volunteer possess these traits.     You can also correspond with past volunteers by just asking for contacts.
