Cambridge Community Rehabilitation & Environmental Protection (CCREP) is seeking volunteers to provide care for the elderly in Eastern Uganda.
CCREP's mission is to strengthen and transform people in vulnerable conditions in Eastern Uganda to support a healthy, productive and sustainable community. We are an evangelical NGO that provides education, vocational training, care for children with disabilities, environmental initiatives, and more.
Volunteers may help with fetching water, cooking, shopping, cleaning, washing, and bathing. A volunteer is free to choose the time they will be available and whether to stay and volunteer in a particular home or move to more than one.
Duration is flexible from a week to several months.
A volunteer may choose to stay in the home where they are volunteering or in a guest house (where internet access is likely to be available).
We want anyone who gives their time to volunteer with us to feel valued, understood and proud to be part of CCREP for the vulnerable communities. We support our volunteers in their roles and request they never to hesitate to ask questions at any time.
The need is great and we will value your assistance.
