Africa calling: An extraordinary journey
 |
Tuesday 16th July 2013
IMPACT is sponsoring five two-week placements for members who volunteer to work in Uganda with Nurture Africa, a charity that runs health and local employment initiatives in the country.
IMPACT’s developing world fund will meet the sponsorship cost of €1,500 – cash which directly provides services to vulnerable children and their communities. Volunteers have to meet the cost of flights and vaccinations. The sponsorships, for placements in October 2013, are only available to IMPACT members.
IMPACT’s developing world fund has been supporting the Nurture Africa project since 2012. It’s an Irish charity providing health care and education for orphans and children affected by HIV-AIDS in Uganda. The organisation also provides employment and health education programmes in the communities where these children live.
In April this year, five IMPACT members spent two weeks working on the project. Find out more, and watch a video report from the last group visit HERE.
