This volunteer request was posted on behalf of Outreach Uganda. Learn more about this organization's projects athttp://www.globalgiving.org/projects/help-70-poor-ugandan-women-own-homes-escape-slums/. To apply, please contact Carol Davis at cldavis0989@aol.com. Learn more about GlobalGiving volunteer opportunities here.
This volunteer will be assisting our Ugandan project coordinator in beginning a cash crop farming project to help support a northern Uganda school. This particular project will involve farming 5 and 10 acre plots organically by growing a variety of crops to provide school food and also a particular herb. We expect to use this same knowledge to eventually train our Jinja women beaders who will be establishing home gardens once they build their home on land we have purchased for them.
Specific Requirements:
A passion for organic farming including either direct experience on training with organic farming, and an interest in helping teach this to others who want to do organic farming in Uganda for 5 and 10 acre land plots.
Much of the work can be done online. However, actual demonstration of various things will be important. It is better if you are able to meet with us at least once in the U.S. The ideal condition, would be a very avid volunteer who also want to travel (at his/her airfare expense) to Uganda for a week or two also. We would hope for an 18 month commitment.
Please email Carol Davis, Outreach Uganda president, at cldavis0989@aol.com with a brief description of your interest and qualifications along with a current resume or C.V.

Mission Statement
Build an efficient, open, thriving marketplace that connects people who have community and world-changing ideas with people who can support them.
Description
GlobalGiving was founded by two former World Bank executives who decided to use the Internet to create a highly efficient marketplace. The GlobalGiving platform enables more funding to reach projects throughout the globe, and, at the same time, provides a more transparent, engaging way for donors to give.
Because we enable donors to give directly to projects, they know exactly where their money is going. Donors can see progress updates on most projects as funding is received and goals are met.
Donations made through GlobalGiving are higher impact because:
- Money is going directly to a well-defined project versus supporting general operating expenses
- Projects on globalgiving.com have exposure to thousands of donors, enabling us to aggregate multiple sources of funding for each project
- Many projects on globalgiving.com are located in the developing world where a little money goes a long way
