    Om programmet

    The program is important because it is targeting the education of our young generation to be equipped with the basics of using the English language effectively and efficiently.The social issues that we face especially in the rural areas where we are located are lack of information due our people being not able to read by themselves because most of the information is found in English which the community members do not understand.We try to solve this issue by empowering the communities with quality basic education so that they can be able to communicate effectively and efficiently with the other communities and on different platforms and media.The program is mainly about teaching our children the English language which is our official language used by the people in all sectors of our country.English is the language that we use to teach children at all schools in the country and even exams are conducted in English but our rural based children are not well conversed with the English language.The main role of the volunteers will be to teach our children at different schools how to speak,write and use the English language effectively and efficiently.The place where the volunteers will be working is a typical rural area .The schools not equipped with the best teaching materials but we use the basic ones like pen and chalk on a black board.The volunteers will be working hand in hand with with our local teachers since the children have never been taught by a foreign person.Volunteers will be living with host families so that they can also learn our social cultural beliefs and practices.We expect the volunteers to be teaching our children how the English language is spoken written and used.We also expect volunteers to teach our children different songs and some sports.We also expect volunteers to come with any teaching materials that can be used to teach the children the language of English effectively and efficiently.We expect volunteers to learn from us our standards and conditions of living,our social cultural values,beliefs and practices and also our local language which is spoken by the people in the area.Volunteers can also learn our local music,dance and drama.
    The tasks undertaken will depend on their level of experience and qualifications. Volunteers may include, but are not limited to teaching the English language to our pupils and students  at  our  community schools

    Volunteers work for at least five hours a day.The rest of the hours especially in the evenings after 4.00 pm is free time. Weekends and public holidays are also free to all volunteers to go for touring to different places of their choice.

    During the week we organize a variety of activities for volunteers in the evenings.  We often play football (soccer), cards and board games or chill out around the bar or go out for a dance getting to know fellow volunteers from around the world.

    WHO WE ARE

    The Mmanze Centre for Rural Development & Training (MACERUDET) is a local NGO located in Uganda. It is a community-based organization mainly developing and managing self-help community projects in all the welfare works related fields. MACERUDET has more than 30  years of experience in the field of welfare works implementing community based programs and activities.

    MACERUDET takes its name from Mmanze community, which is located 22 miles north the capital city of Kampala along Matugga -Ssemuto road.. The area is typical of rural area’s in Uganda with families largely getting by on subsistence farming. It lies within the former famous Luwero Triangle, where the 1981 to 1986 bush war was centred resulting in many fatalities and virtually destroying all the social infra structures in the region. It was in this environment in 1987 that Macerudet (Mmanze Centre For Rural Development And Training ) was founded, with survivors organizing themselves on a self help basis to create this community based organization. The main aim of Macrudet was, and more than thirty years later still is, to contribute towards the rehabilitation, reconstruction and development of the area through self help initiatives. During the past thirty years Macerudet has worked with the local community to found and develop projects that promote education, health care and economic development.

    Mmanze Community members face daily problems caused by poverty, low-grade water supply & sanitation facilities, insufficient funds for education, meagure nutrition & scant health care services, among a variety of other disadvantages. 

    MACRUDET has no established paid staff and implements priority programs and activities utilizing the services of both local and international volunteers through an integrated holistic development approach with a high community spirit and a lot of enthusiasm.
    WHAT WE DO  :

    Priority Programs include : Sustainable Agriculture & Income Generation; Community-Based Health Care; Functional Adult Literacy; Training & Education; Environmental Protection; Infrastructure Development; Rural Savings & Credit Scheme; Community Capacity Building; Rights Promotion & Protection; & Lobbying & Advocacy.We also recruit and host volunteers from the local and international community.

    ​WHERE WE WORK :

    We work with the rural based communities in the typical rural areas in Mmanze community,Masulita subcounty in Wakiso district.
    . Life is fairly laid back in the area and time is soon spent chatting with people in passing and visiting friends. The  area has an extremely low crime rate and volunteers are given the chance and encouraged to explore the area alone or in groups with our team.

    OUR HISTORY :

    As already mentioned ,we have an experience of more  than thirty years working with the rural based communities.Secondly ,we have the same experience working with both local and international volunteers from different countries  from different cultural back grounds.

    ​OUR MISSION :

    To work with rural communities to alleviate poverty, ignorance, disease & illiteracy through implementing sustainable community based development programs.

    WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR :

    We are looking for flexible, caring volunteers who have the drive to not only help but to familiarize themselves with the local culture and characters. We advise longer placements as it gives us and yourself a greater chance to get stuck into a program however we understand that short terms are sometimes preferred especially when visiting Africa or volunteering for the first time.
