Why are volunteers needed
SJCM has always looked to fill the gap through its volunteer program due to the severe shortage of professional human resources, notably in the health sector, and the financial resources required to engage sufficient people. Volunteers have always played a crucial role in filling the organizational structure’s inadequacies, and they have assisted in a lot of successful projects. In addition to the aforementioned, SJCM has a well-established volunteer program that connects volunteers with various project partners to provide the human resources needed to participate in activities to fulfill our mission and vision.
Reflection of volunteer benefit
We are a group of open-minded people that embrace new ideas, and we look forward to your contribution to and engagement in new projects. You will interact with people, develop new friends, and gain an understanding of Uganda’s fascinating culture, people, and economic policies as a result. Last but not least, Uganda is a destination for travel, tourism, and adventure. The town of Jinja, where we are situated, is recognized as the adventure center of Eastern Africa.
We are creating enduring bonds between individuals of many races, backgrounds, and nations in order to contribute to the positive diversity of culture through a common passion and change-making goal. We provide a method for people who meet through our programs to keep in touch, and we provide a way for anyone who wish to get engaged in this vibrant community.
Volunteering conditions
To work in a developing nation, you must be open to learning about a new culture. It’s possible that your host institution and country won’t offer the same living and working circumstances that you are accustomed to at home.
We shall make sure that the living at the SJCM house satisfies the bare minimal requirements for comfort, electricity, indoor plumbing, acceptable furniture, and cooking equipment, but they may not be up to standard. In a similar vein, you must feel at ease in new locations, foods, and social mores. Although they might not meet your requirements, health services will be offered.

Tourism, adventure and travel
Of course you’ll need to go; east Africa as a whole is known for its many tourist attractions, including national parks, campgrounds, charming traditional towns, and not to mention the culture of Ugandans, which is particularly fascinating due to their kind and friendly attitudes.
The organization’s base of operations, Jinja Town, is a popular destination for tourists from across the world and the hub for practically all east African tour operators using overland vehicles. This is explained by the fantastic lake and river locations that most expedition activities take place at. The source of the Nile, falls, and rafting rapids along the Nile are popular attractions. A hub for travel to the remainder of the Great Lakes region is Jinja.
