Fundraising

Firefly Uganda is a small organisation ran entirely by volunteers. We work hard to ensure that all funds get invested directly into the projects, avoiding administration fees and other unnecessary costs. This is why we invest a lot of time fundraising and collecting funds for our projects, and ask all our volunteers to help us raise as much as they can before joining us on the island.

 Our general fundraising target is 2000€ per person. This is additional to, and not included in living costs. Once you are here with us, you will get involved in all decisions about where and how this money will be used for our projects!

​

We know fundraising can sometimes seem like a daunting task. Luckily our team has had a lot of experience fundraising in the past and we are here to help you whenever you might feel stuck or short on ideas. Turns out fundraising can actually be a lot of fun and a great experience to learn from! 

Any additional stay on top of these packages is charged at 105€/week

What am I paying for?

The fee you pay to volunteer covers your living cost and includes:

• Accommodation in our volunteer camp and all meals, water, tea and coffee
   

• Orientation activities, where you will learn about the history, culture and tradition of the Ssese Islands and its people
   

• Fun activities such as waterskiing, motor boating through the islands and snorkelling. 
   

• Cultural immersion activities such as weekly meals in the local village, a weekend tour through the capital city of Kampala and more getaways for long-term volunteers
   

• If you would like to, you will also get the opportunity to learn  Luganda, the official language of the islands or how to cook all the local food
