The moment I entered Little Lights gate, I have found that most of my fears are gone, welcomed by the smiles and hugs of the cutest children I ever met.
As a volunteer, assigned with 3 different projects, and a wonderful staff that made sure I have everything I need in order to have a given all the support needed from the staff around and abroad when necessary.
if you are looking for a volunteering opportunity in Africa, I suggest you to contact Little Light and prepare yourself for a life changing experience(!)" - on 13/06/2019

Additional Info about Us
Volunteer days are Monday-Friday from 9:00 until 16:00 (Saturday is either a work day or a day off, depending on the volunteer's own choice).
Most of our volunteers are Israeli, but we also have a German volunteer at all times. Volunteers from all nations are very much welcome. We take up to 3 volunteers at once. Volunteers arrive in Uganda independently.
Regarding costs: we don't charge anything to volunteer. Volunteers pay for all their personal expenses (except for breakfast and lunch, which our volunteers are welcome to eat at the kindergarten for free with the staff and children). Living in Kampala is very cheap- A local meal costs about 1$ and casual transportation costs even less.
Volunteers usually rent an apartment (where they stay together) or they stay at a guesthouse. Accommodation arrangements are made individually for each volunteer prior to their arrival in Uganda, and solely depend on the volunteers' choice.
Besides education for children 5 days a week, the children receive daily breakfast and lunch twice a week.
In addition, the project provides free medical services for children and their families, women's empowerment group and scholarship program for the nursery school's graduates.
The thing that most excited me about volunteering at LL was the kindness of the community members we support." - on 18/05/2020
