    Hope of Children and Women Victims of Violence ,Volunteer with Refugee Women in Uganda | - 2015


    Hope of Children and Women Victims of Violence ,Volunteer with Refugee Women in Uganda




    Volunteer Opportunity description



    Hope of Children and Women Victims of Violence (HOCW) was founded in 2008 by refugees and international volunteers who had a passion for the plight of women and children. A non-profit humanitarian organization, HOCW’s mission is to instill hope, provide opportunities, and offer support to th
    e community of Ndejje, Uganda.
    HOCW’s clients include an ever-changing population of Ugandans and refugees from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, Burundi, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, and other African nations, many of whom have experienced war, internal conflict, natural disasters, gender-based violence, and extreme poverty.
    We have a small, full-time staff composed mostly of refugees. We rely on volunteers to provide the manpower to help us carry out daily activities as well as share expertise and collaborate with our staff.
    HOCW is a community center that provides
    services
    to an average of 50 people a day. We do our best to meet the needs of refugees through several programs: adult education, health services, youth activities, social development, and community collective.Volunteer Information:
    HOCW is recruiting 2014 summer and fall volunteers for an array of programs and short-term projects. The ideal candidate will possess a strong interest in HOCW’s mission. We encourage our volunteers to assist with a program that serves their interests, such as teaching English classes, starting an art project, creating and leading youth activities, or providing help with the organization’s administrative needs (fundraising/grant writing, website design/operation, etc.).
    Volunteers with a mental health background are encouraged to apply. Many of the people we serve are victims of rape and other acts of violence. There is very little mental health infrastructure in Uganda and HOCW does what we can to work with victims of trauma and war. Based on volunteer skills and appropriate training, we have offered popular art and group therapy sessions.
    The HOCW compound is located in Ndejje, a rural village approximately 11km from Kampala’s city center. The compound contains a volunteer house (bedrooms, bathroom, common living room), the Executive Director’s house (where all meals are served), office, classrooms, and small outdoor space.The volunteer house provides all the basic amenities — running water, electricity, bedding, and wifi.
    Volunteer fees are $150 USD per week for volunteers who stay four weeks or less and $100 USD a week for volunteers who stay more than four weeks. Fees include: pick-up from Entebbe airport, accommodations in the volunteer house, and three delicious home cooked meals per day. In addition, you will need a weekly budget of approximately $20 USD to cover bottled water, local transportation, and other personal expenses.
    Public transportation (matatu or shared taxi) to Kampala is easily accessible. The capital is a busy, bustling city that some volunteers enjoy spending time in. For those who prefer to stay away from the hustle and bustle, there is also a shopping center in Lubowa, about a 25-minute walk or a short bodaboda (motorbike) ride away. Lubowa has a bank, grocery store, coffee shop, bar and a few restaurants. Uganda is a beautiful country- we encourage volunteers to travel on the weekends!
    HOCW Programs:
    Adult Education:Many of the refugees that come to HOCW are from countries that do not share common
    languages
    with Uganda, such as DR Congo, Rwanda, and Burundi. This language barrier means that adult refugees struggle to find employment; have difficulty carrying out daily tasks; and often feel isolated from their neighbors. In the adult education classes, volunteers help these refugees learn English, facilitating their integration into society, opening the doors to jobs, and having a lot of fun along the way. We offer basic literacy classes and three levels of English.Health:Zanta Clinic, one of the few public clinics in Kampala, is a short walk from our compound in Ndejje. This bustling primary care center offers services including HIV testing, prenatal care and preventive services. Zanta provides health care to a large population of vulnerable people and refugees, including most of the people we serve. HOCW partners with Zanta to provide health professional and health professional student volunteers.
    HOCW also provides health education seminars and classes- volunteers with expertise in this area may work with HOCW staff to plan and conduct workshops.Language barriers and discrimination can be barriers to refugees as the access the health services they need. Volunteers can accompany HOCW clients to medical appointments to advocate on their behalf.
    Social Development:Many of the people we work with are incredibly talented and creative. We work with them to nourish these talents and turn them into viable businesses. We have a small tailoring shop as well as groups of women that produce jewelry and baskets. We are working to create a collective of artists and craftspeople. We welcome volunteers that have creativity or business lessons to share.
    Youth Activities:State run education in Uganda is very limited. The reality for the families we serve is that if they cannot afford school fees, their children cannot go to school. Because of this, many children spend long periods of their childhood not in school. We serve many children who are not in school at all and many more that are far behind in their studies.We try to provide as many organized activities as possible including academic lessons, sports and arts. We are looking for volunteers who have experience teaching academics, coaching sports or are interested in teaching music, dance, drama or other cultural activities. Currently, this is a part-time program.
    Community Collective: HOCW founded and hosts a Community Collective, where women make a variety of products to sell in Uganda and abroad. The Collective is comprised of the Tailoring Group, Jewelry and Crafts Group, Embroidery Group, and Soap-Making Group where the emphasis in each group is to empower women by providing them with job skills, stable sources of income, and opportunities for social engagement
