Urgent Help Needed! Donate
Life in Africa is a struggle for anyone, but the life of a child is even harder. Imagine, growing up in a world where you lack the very basics in life, food, clean water, medicine, shelter, safety, a bed of your own. Beyond that, there are no toys, no dolls, no footballs, no sweets and treats, at best, a bed of reeds to sleep on. School would be wonderful to attend, the path out of poverty, but there is no money for school fees so you stay home and wait for a miracle, but for most there is none. Life is simply survival, staying alive
About Us
Volunteers Heart For Africa (VHFA)
Volunteers Heart For Africa (VHFA) is a non-governmental organization committed to fighting hunger, lack of education and medical care among children in desperate need, and fighting illiteracy in adult women and men. VHFA is directed towards orphans, children suffering from poverty and infected by HIV/AIDS, and provide them with a decent standard of living. In doing so, we also aim to raise conscious in society by teaching individuals basic skills that will help the surrounding communities to develop.




SPONSORSHIP
Child Sponsorship
We understand that when it comes to charity organizations or donating in general there is a certain hint of skepticism involved. Many people turn away from the opportunity to help because they feel uncertain that their support is going to the right places. This is perfectly understandable because in the end one is forced to rely on the good faith of others.
Ministry
Volunteers Heart for Africa always seek to honor and equip biological families, when possible, but ready to fill in where biological family is absent or unable to care, Volunteers Heart for Africa step in as fathers, mothers, aunts, uncles, and mentors to the children. We prepare them for their future roles as godly fathers and mothers in their own families. We help inspire them to reach back in love to their biological families.

As well as One Day Volunteers and Long Term Volunteers, we also welcome large groups of volunteers.

Why Volunteer
The team here at VHFA welcome volunteers from all corners of the world, of all ages and backgrounds.
By volunteering with us here you will have a very enriching first had experience of Ugandan lifestyle and cultures. You will be able to grasp a better understanding of the daily struggles that we face, and also experience the beauty of this country that lies in the hearts of many Ugandans. You will also have the opportunity to give back to a community which is in great need of your help, and challenge yourself in this new environment.
In return, we will have an opportunity to learn more about your culture and background. You will be able to share your knowledge and experiences with us, and help us see some of our challenges here from a different perspective.


One Day Volunteering
What is the One Day Volunteering Programme?
Here at Volunteers Heart For Africa we recognize that not everyone is in a position to stay in Uganda for an extended period of time to volunteer with us so we have established a programme for individuals who would just like to spend a day or two volunteering and we have established our very popular ‘One Day Volunteering’ Programme. An opportunity to volunteer with Volunteers Heart For Africa for just one day.


Long Term Volunteering
Long Term Volunteering (LTV) is a bit of a deceptive term, because of our One Day Volunteering Programmed this simply means anyone who is volunteering for more than a day or two!
Long Term Volunteers, volunteer with us for anything from a week through to twelve months (or more!). Long term volunteers are based in and around Jinja and work on our programmes as assigned. Within the Long term volunteering programme you will assist with a variety of projects:
