City | Zirobwe Ministry | Project Orphans Length | 3 Weeks Cost | $4,400

Join Project Orphans where you’ll work alongside the local Ugandan team as we partner together to see abandoned women, children, and those living in extreme poverty in Uganda. You’ll work within Pearl Village and help create homes for women and children who have gone through horrific abuse as well as serve the local community through various humanitarian projects and education workshops. In addition, you’ll mentor and build deep relationships with the 40+ children who were either abandoned, orphaned, or facing poverty at its worst. You’ll work with many different schools, churches, and organizations in the slums of Uganda and help assist them with new developments and outreach opportunities.
