Where it all begins
Why It Matters

Your involvement has real impact.

Persons with disabilities in Uganda face barriers in education, employment, health care, and public life. Every form of involvement helps remove those barriers.

01

Barriers are real

Children with disabilities are less likely to attend school. Adults face higher unemployment. Public spaces and services are often inaccessible. Your involvement changes this.

02

Change is possible

With the right support — legal advocacy, inclusive education, livelihood opportunities — persons with disabilities can thrive and lead in their communities.

03

Your action counts

Whether you give time, money, expertise or voice — every contribution multiplies. Collective action is what makes systemic change possible.

Volunteer

Volunteer with us.

Share your time, skills and passion. We especially welcome volunteers with lived experience of disability.

Volunteer engagement with persons with disabilities

How to become a volunteer.

We keep our volunteer intake simple and welcoming. Whether you can offer a few hours a month or a full-time placement, we'd love to hear from you.

01

Get in touch

Send us a message with your skills, availability, and areas of interest. There's no formal application form at this stage.

02

Have a conversation

We'll meet with you (in person or online) to explore where your skills could add value, and answer any questions you may have.

03

Get matched and start

Once we've found a fit, you'll receive an orientation and a clear scope for your role. We provide ongoing support throughout.

Areas where volunteers make a difference:

  • Programme support — field activities, data collection, logistics
  • Communications — storytelling, social media, translation
  • Mentorship — supporting leaders through our mentorship programme
  • Professional skills — legal, medical, M&E, accounting, HR
  • Advocacy and outreach — community engagement and public education

FAQ

Common questions.

Answers to the things people ask most when they want to get involved.

How do I know my donation will be used well?

Lamicare DRO Uganda operates with rigorous financial management subject to independent audits. We maintain zero tolerance for corruption and fraud, with robust policies on conflicts of interest and data privacy. Annual reports and audited financial statements are published on our Reports page.

Can I volunteer remotely?

Yes. Many roles — communications, translation, research, grant writing, mentoring — can be done remotely. Let us know your skills and availability when you get in touch, and we'll explore what works.

I have a disability — can I still get involved?

Absolutely. Persons with disabilities are at the centre of our work — including as volunteers, staff, board members and partners. We actively welcome volunteers, interns and team members with lived experience. Reasonable accommodations are provided throughout the process.

Do you offer internships?

Yes. We periodically host interns in programmes, communications, and operations. Visit our Careers page for current openings, or contact us to express interest even when no specific posting is live.

Can I visit your office?

Yes — we welcome visits from partners, volunteers, donors and community members. Our office is in Wakiso District (see our Contact page for details). We recommend calling ahead to confirm availability.
