Volunteering
Choosing a Program
The Organization provides holistic care for these needy people through a range of activities. These include:
- The provision of home-based care for victims of HIV/AIDS, free blood testing for HIV/AIDS, and the provision of condoms to the sexually active
- An empowerment programme for widows who are victims of the disease to assist them to earn some income
- An education and awareness scheme to increase knowledge about HIV/AIDS in educational institutions and in the wider community
- The caring and support of orphans using sponsorship schemes. These activities currently occur in Jinja & Kamuli. Each volunteer is free to sample any of the following program activities depending on each volunteer's skills and flexibility.
You can become involved in a range of programs that appeal to your personal interests as some of the projects run in the morning and the afternoons only. If you are unsure of which project you would like to become involved with, you can spend a few days visiting each of the different groups to find out more about what each does in both rural and urban.
The OGLM is a very flexible organization and looks to constantly develop and extend its range of activities reflecting the skills of the incoming volunteers. If you have suggestions or ideas as to how to increase the scope of the organization's activities feel free to share them.
