i-to-i Meaningful Travel
Volunteer to Teach in Uganda
Most of the children in Niyakasiru don't go to school. They work in the fields because their parents can't afford to pay the school fees. This project aims to give these children a proper education while providing a steady income for the village. You will be teaching English at the village school and staying at the unique "Teach Inn Uganda" which was built to house volunteer teachers and to fund future projects that will benefit the local community. All the money raised by the hotel is ploughed back into projects that benefit the villagers.

Cost: $1595 for 4 weeks.
Dates: Please call for exact start dates.
