Abroad’s Uganda projects are based in the Iganga district of Uganda, about 3
hours from the capital city of Kampala. You’ll live with a local family and
become a welcomed, appreciated member of the community. On weekends you can
head to Jinja, a tourist-friendly town at the source of the Nile, where you can
enjoy white water rafting or kayaking, explore the jungles, or hang out in the
town’s cafes and restaurants. Past volunteers raved about the exoticism of this
placement, and the opportunity to experience life in an African village.
