Om programmet

The world today has the largest generation of young people in history with approximately 1.8 billion between the ages of 10 and 24 years and currently Uganda has the second youngest population in the world with over 78% below 30 years. In 2015 the United Nations adopted the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), aka the Global Goals as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that by 2030 all people enjoy peace and prosperity while leaving no one behind. Many young people are already driving transformative change, and more are poised to do so, although deep challenges remain. Progress has been uneven with many young people across the globe still experiencing interlocked forms of discrimination, limited inclusion, and high levels of poverty, limited access to health systems, quality educational opportunities and decent jobs among others. UNFPA 2014 confirmed that healthy, educated, productive and fully engaged young people can help break the cycle of intergenerational poverty and are more resilient in the face of individual and societal challenges and their knowledge, reach and innovative solutions are crucial if sustainable development is to be realized. 

This program is aimed at providing effective demand-driven, context-specific and evidence-based policy advice, tools, resources and technical support to young people in primary and secondary schools to enable them acquire necessary knowledge, values and skills that address profound sustainable development challenges and build more prosperous and resilient communities. Under a four (4) phased approach, the initiative will encourage, promote and support school projects developed through active participation and involvement of all students with support from teachers and other actors. All projects will be aligned with SDG goals, targets and indicators with direct impact to the students, school and the community through the School-Community Partnership (SCP). The initiative will support the establishment of student senates (clubs) in all partner schools where leaders and members of the senate will be trained and their capacity built to effectively plan, manage, implement and monitor the school projects. 

The program is implemented in Primary and Secondary schools in Central and Eastern districts of Uganda, the volunteers working on this program will work alongside the local staff at the Kampala and Butaleja offices. 

We expect volunteers to be open minded and actively participate in designing, shaping and sharing experiences. The volunteers shopuld expect to meet and work vibrant youths in schools with maximum support from the local team.

The Students Facilitator on Sustainable Development will support in the following ways

  • Organizing and Participating in planning meetings with the school administration and student leaders
  • Training students on Sustainable Development Goals and helping them identify projects to implement in schools
  • Supporting schools to set up strong school clubs
  • Conducting basic trainings for students on project initiation in schools and helping them build life skills
  • Organizing school outreaches and debates in schools
  • Documenting and making reports.

Indkvartering

IN KAMPALA CITY:

While in Kampala city, our volunteers will be hosted by partner host families and in most cases these families belong or are families where our staff and local volunteers live. This means you will live with our staff and local volunteers. We are working on establishing an independent volunteer house will be cater for accommodation of all international volunteers. You will be allocated a conducive room, bed and mattress during your stay. Most of the bathrooms and toilets are inside the house. 

IN EASTERN UGANDA:

For a better experience of an African village but with comfort, all our Volunteers are accommodated in our local community home where they live with other family members and volunteers become part of the family. We have semi permanent simple community houses where the volunteers will live with other family members. 
Because its a local community with limited access to electricity, the houses have solar for only lighting and charging phones/tabloids/cameras. Some houses have a cemented floor and the walls are made of bricks and other houses are made of grass thatched roof but professionally designed to provide comfort to the guests. The choice is yours. There is a shared pit latrine and shares two bathrooms constructed outside the houses. Volunteers are free to come with camping tents to be used in case of community camps/trips when necessary. There is a wide, green compound (Except dry seasons) with a number of fruits like oranges, mangoes, pawpaws, jack fruit, avocados among others. 

Volunteers are encouraged to carry their bed-sheets, Bed covers/blanket, pillow, bathing Towel and other personal items. Volunteers are requested to share a rooms with another volunteer or if they come in groups or family etc.

Our offices are located about, 10 minutes by motorbike from the accommodation (residence) place.

Mad og drikkevarer

AT ALL RESIDENCES 

While at the residence, the volunteers will share local food with the host family members, where the volunteer may participate in preparing, cooking and serving local foods within the family especially during her free time and weekends. 

Local foods like Posho, millet, sweet potatoes among others will be the main food especially while up-country during your stay but once in a while we will have modern dishes although we encourage that the volunteers should try to get used to local foods as much as possible to enable them have a better experience of Africa. 

Meals at Office.
Most cases while at office, we have our lunch meals at office both in Kampala and up-country office. We mostly make our meals and different volunteers are assigned the roles to support in shopping, preparing food, cooking and serving. We do this as family and team work.
