Description
Are you ready to make a direct impact on lives in the heart of Bududa, Uganda? Bududa Learning Center is seeking dedicated volunteers to join our transformative mission.

Join our passionate team, be part of skill-building initiatives, and witness firsthand the positive change your efforts bring to the Bududa community.
But that's not all! We're also engaged in the Children of Bududa (COB) Program, providing essential support to orphaned and vulnerable children. Additionally, our partnership with Women's Microfinance Initiative (WMI) empowers women in the community through financial assistance.
If you're ready to share your skills, enthusiasm, and time to make a lasting impact, we welcome you to join the BLC family. Together, let's create a brighter future through education and empowerment.
