What this trip will mean to me

I’m raising money for a summer internship to Uganda, where I’ll be working to support programs that provide rural villages with health education and services. Uganda Village Project celebrated their 10 year anniversary last year, and in that time, they have worked in multiple villages to improve community health and well-being through access to services, health and behavior change education, and prevention information.

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. As part of their program, they also invite 40 international and local interns to come to 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.

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.
