What We Do?

The organization provides activities on empowering, training and sensitizing the youth on HIV/AIDS, gender, democracy, peacebuilding, and cultural heritage. These topics are also addressed through:

  • Nationwide three-week work camps which take place throughout the year. The work camps integrate grassroots development projects providing volunteer labor and skills through construction, agriculture, sanitation, and environmental projects.
  • Mid and long term volunteer program is an international volunteer exchange program managed by UPA through hosting international volunteers. This promotes intercultural learning, understanding and skills development among the youth. The volunteers are sourced from UPA’s international voluntary service partners including the Coordinating Committee for International Voluntary Services (CCIVS), Alliance Network, Welwarts Initiative (EUAV), Mondo Estonia, ADICE – France and others.
    In exchange, UPA also sends Ugandan Volunteers to Weltwaerts in Germany.
