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.

Some where over the rainbow - is Uganda!

This year I am hoping to go on a trip of a lifetime.
I will hop on a big jet plane and take my 30 odd hour flight from little New Zealand at the bottom of the world to big old Africa, then to a rural village in the Iganga District of Uganda. Thank goodness nurses don’t need to sleep!

With the Uganda Village Project I will endeavour to save the world one village at a time and fulfil the millennium development goals.

Ok back to reality.

I simply wish to gain an understanding of the difficulties they face with regards to health and the determinants of health such as clean water and sanitation. Only then can we produce common goals and programs that respect, protect and fulfil a quality of life that is sustainable and accessible for all.

At the moment I am a part time student doing post graduate studies in public health with a particular focus on environmental health and sustainability, while working as a public health nurse in the health protection team for the Auckland region.

Please give a little and support me on my journey of improving the quality of life for all. I may never reach my destination but as long as I make every step count and go as far as I can, I would have paved part of the way so someone else may get there.

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.
