We, at Lioness Heart Foundation, are working to enrich Ugandan communities by creating opportunities for women to recognize and develop their strengths, learn technical skills, and expand their role as leaders. We will provide these learned skills for the women of Uganda through educational training and enriching experiences with the help of volunteers worldwide.
WHAT’S THE VOLUNTEER EXPERIENCE LIKE?
While anyone is welcome to join our volunteer experience, we especially want to encourage veterans to join our program and cause. During the challenging transition from military to civilian life, many veterans report a loss of direction and purpose. Through the Lioness Heart Foundation, veterans will gain a new sense of purpose by using their skills and knowledge to benefit the women of Uganda, in turn, helping the entire community.
We have a diverse curriculum and the volunteer’s role can cover one or more of a wide range of academic subjects, as well as practical vocational skills. In turn, these skills improve Ugandan women’s career prospects and level of independence to support themselves and their families. Volunteers play an invaluable role in supporting their chances for a brighter future.
While we are starting with select teachings in mind, we are always open to considering new project ideas that encourage growth for the women and communities of Uganda. We also offer the flexibility for the volunteers to contribute their time and energy as they see fit by offering them various volunteer durations, teaching activities and roles within the program.
