- RHF relies on the valued support of skilled and motivated volunteers. By working in partnership with volunteers we combine our knowledge and skills to empower people and communities to fulfill their potential and contribute to socio-economic change. Since 2009, RHF has welcomed ten volunteers both from abroad and from within Uganda, who have supported our programme development, communications and monitoring and evaluation, as well as gaining valuable work experience and broadening their understanding of life in a developing country.
Our volunteer programme invites suitably qualified individuals to work with us for anything from eight weeks to three years. We provide accommodation in Jinja and Kamuli, however all costs, including visas, are covered by the volunteer. There are many useful resources on line to help you fundraise at home to support your volunteering abroad.

» Food security, including agriculture and farming practice
