Volunteers are the heart and fuel of the Foster Friends Uganda, providing different services for the community at all levels of need. Volunteers are an essential resource for a sustainable nonprofit community. At Foster Friends Uganda, a steady supply of individuals willing to give their most valuable resource-time-is critical for our basic operations.
Volunteers are given an opportunity to serve their community, support children who are at risk academically and nutritionally, engage into emergency response programs, ensuring hunger free communities, fight mul-nutrition and build personal skills through engagement with the program. Joining as a volunteer requires no previous training or experiences just a dedication to supporting the children and families in Uganda. Now more than ever, the work that volunteers do has a clear and direct effect on the people and communities they are serving.
No additional volunteer opportunities at this time.

Save lives, relieve suffering and maintain human dignity.
FOSTERS is a humanitarian organization that helps people who are suffering through saving lives and maintaining human dignity at anytime, anyplace in Uganda. We are responsible, aware of the circumstances of other people’s lives and helping them on the basis of need without discrimination.
Uganda continues to face conflict - related humanitarian and protection challenges. The far eastern region, the most vulnerable part of the country with the high rates of poverty, high numbers of children facing hunger and malnutrition, high illiteracy, natural disaster attacks like landslides to people residing in the area of Bududa, and many more, there is more than 5 million people including men, women and children that need Humanitarian aid.
The refugee population in Uganda has also increased from 200,000 in 2012 to more than 1.2 million. As a whole, these refugees are coming from more than 10 countries around the globe including South Sudan, Congo, Rwanda, Somalia, Eritrea, Afghanistan and many more. Most of these people are affected by wars, political instabilities and poverty in their countries hence seeking refuge and asylum in Uganda. These people need water for drinking, food to eat, education for the children and all life basic necessities to live on and feel safe.
