Volunteer in Uganda


Each year midwives, doctors and nurses volunteer in Uganda and support MAMA’s work here. Since we began in 2015 we have welcomed volunteers on over 20 volunteer placements, many of whom are returning.
On this page you can find information to help you decide if volunteering is for you, including:
- our one-minute volunteer profile checklist
- reports from past volunteers
- our Volunteer Application Information guide
- The MAMA photo gallery on life in Uganda
If you’re ready and know you want to volunteer for MAMA, we look forward to hearing from you.

Volunteering with MAMA is for you if…
You are a qualified nurse, midwife, doctor or 2nd or 3rd year student midwife with an interest in midwifery & tropical health
