How can I stay updated about the intern’s work in Uganda?
Many interns choose to write a personal blog while they are in Uganda. However, their internet access will be sporadic, so you may choose to follow UVP’s blog at http://ugandavillageproject.blogspot.com/ which will highlight intern stories throughout the summer.
Is this donation tax deductible?
Yes. Because our interns are an integral piece of UVP’s projects, any contribution made toward their program fee is tax deductible. You will receive an email from SeeYourImpact with the tax information.
What happens if an intern raises more than the $2,000 program fee?
Any additional donations above $2,000 can be applied to costs associated with their internship such as vaccinations or airfare.
How do I give to a specific intern?
Scroll down this page to the “Support a fundraiser” section. Click on the photo of the intern you want to support. From their personalized page, you can make a donation that will go directly to their program fee.

The chance of a lifetime!

My name is Craig Calvert and I am a student at Baylor University studying Environmental Health Sciences. I have the amazing opportunity to spend the summer in Uganda for an internship with the Uganda Village Project. I’m raising money for this internship, where I’ll be working to support programs that provide rural villages with health education and services.

Uganda Village Project partners with other community-based organizations and local government to make sure that programs fit local needs and are sustainable for long-term success. I have a unique opportunity to be one of the 40 international and local interns that travel to the Iganga District each summer to help kick off programming and monitor activities. While I’m there, I’ll gain experience in public health, community education, and international development, all while helping the community members of a rural village in Iganga District. Gaining experience in international public health will certainly be invaluable to me. I look forward to helping and serving the people of Uganda this summer. I would greatly appreciate your support financially, but your prayers are also invaluable to me.

I hope you’ll support my trip, which means supporting Uganda Village Project and the great work that they do. For more information about them, you can visit their website at www.ugandavillageproject.org. Thanks for your support!

About the Uganda Village Project

Since 2003, Uganda Village Project has been working with the people of Iganga to promote public health and sustainable development in the rural communities of this marginalized district in southeast Uganda. We work at a village-by-village level to address the most pressing healthcare concerns of each community, including malaria, HIV and STIs, household sanitation and hygiene, family planning access, obstetric fistula awareness and repair, and provision of clean water through shallow wells.

For more information please see our website at www.ugandavillageproject.org.
