Are you passionate about women’s empowerment, skills development and community transformation? Join Ssamba Foundation in Uganda and support initiatives that help women build practical skills, explore business opportunities and strengthen their livelihoods.
Based in Kyampisi, Mukono District, Ssamba Foundation promotes opportunities for women to learn, develop confidence and participate in sustainable community development.
Our women’s empowerment activities are part of the Ssamba Foundation Community Volunteer Program. Volunteers contribute to ongoing activities at the Foundation Centre and in surrounding communities, depending on current projects, local priorities, their skills and interests.

- Tailoring and garment design: Sharing ideas and supporting practical sewing, clothing design and garment-making activities.

More Than Volunteering – Experience Ugandan Culture
Our program is flexible. You are not assigned to one fixed job or activity. You may also participate in education, agriculture, public health, water and sanitation or other community initiatives, depending on ongoing needs and suitability.
You will experience everyday Ugandan community life, local traditions, food and language while building friendships and exchanging ideas with local people. Accommodation is available at Kyampisi Backpackers Home.
