Project Play is the life-shaping, high impact adventure of a lifetime! Explore beautiful Uganda, while enhancing children’s lives and empowering communities. Help transform an empty playing field into a brand new safe, exciting and colourful playground at a school. Living within the community and helping to run creative afternoon sessions during this two or four-week project, you will witness first-hand the power that play has in uncovering children’s potential, creating a long-term, sustainable legacy of play. Spend your weekends exploring all Uganda has to offer including safari, bungee jumping, and white-water rafting - what’s not to love!

This sustainable, ethical, affordable trip will guarantee an unforgettable summer. Make lifelong friends, develop essential skills, enhance employability, and most importantly make a positive impact with a needs-driven, award-winning charity.

Fully immerse yourself in a cultural opportunity that'll give you first-hand work experience in the international development sector, and create a long term and sustainable legacy of play. With over a decade of experience, and with ethics, sustainability, fun and adventure at the heart of their volunteering programmes, Play Action International is the perfect opportunity for your volunteering adventure! They pride themselves on providing a sustainable in-country programme that meets the needs of the community and is led by local communities.

Volunteers will help transform a community school field in Uganda by building an amazing new playground from start to finish. As well as this, they will take part in an Arts and Play program to inspire the children at a school to learn, explore, and develop themselves whilst giving them a great place to play.

Volunteers should be prepared to enjoy basic shared accommodation in spare classrooms at the schools where they are volunteering, with mattresses on the floor and mosquito nets. There is no electricity in the schools and volunteers will need to fetch water from the local water pump, a great way to fully immerse yourself into the community.

Volunteers will also have the opportunity to go on an African safari, kayak on The River Nile, bungee jump, quad bike, horse ride and so much more! With 44.3% of the population of East Africa under the age of 14, a lack of child-friendly places to play and an incredibly high level of youth unemployment across the East Africa; investment in child development is now more vital than ever.
