Survivor-centred support in Uganda

VOLUNTEER WITH US

Strengthen prevention and response.

We welcome volunteers who are ready to contribute responsibly, work within clear safeguarding standards, and support survivor-centred work through prevention, systems support, and professional service.

HOW YOU CAN VOLUNTEER

We welcome interest from people who want to contribute meaningfully and professionally.

Some volunteers support work on the ground in Uganda, while others contribute remotely through design, communications, research, administration, fundraising, and other specialised roles. Placement depends on your skills, availability, and where support is most needed.

International Volunteers

For foreigners coming to Uganda who can commit to at least three months and support prevention projects, communications, systems support, or approved technical roles.

Remote Volunteers

For volunteers contributing from anywhere through fundraising support, communications, administration, writing, design, research, and other skill-based roles.

WAYS TO CONTRIBUTE

Volunteers support the work in different ways, depending on skills, role fit, and organisational need.

Communications and storytelling

Graphic design and media support

Research and documentation

Administration and operations support

Training and technical support

Digital systems and organisational support

IMPORTANT TO KNOW

Volunteering with us comes with clear expectations.

  • Volunteers do not work directly with survivors.
  • Safeguarding, confidentiality, and professional conduct are non-negotiable.
  • Roles are assigned based on organisational need and suitability.
  • Not all expressions of interest lead to placement.
  • Volunteering with Totya does not guarantee employment.
