Community Development:
An example of Ugandan's improving their quality of life through KCS's community development is our Home Sustainable Living Program. KCS works to create self-sustainability in Uganda by harnessing the potential of individuals to develop themselves, their households, and their communities. KCS partners with groups at all levels, including local, national, and international organizations in the development process. Examples of such sustainability programmes include our model farming initiatives in which farmers from surrounding areas come and learn new and more effective ways of producing better harvests from their lands.
HIV/ Aids Awareness:
HIV/ Aids is still a major problem in Uganda and our volunteers have offered many classes on HIV/ Aids awareness and sensitization, trying to combat the misconceptions that the youth of Kikaaya have about HIV/ Aids and sex education in general. Volunteers are needed no matter what a volunteer's level of experience; even the simplest messages are very effective here. Imagine a society where children are never encouraged, never told they can achieve good things. Basic information on hygiene, nutrition, etc. is just not passed on from mother to child as in western cultures. Volunteers can help to combat this and help to empower the children to become able citizens.
Building:
Through help from our volunteers, we are currently in the process of building a house for some of the orphans that Kikaaya College School provides care for. This initiative will house and provide for a better future for the orphans when coupled with our free education. This will give the children a chance to break free from the poverty cycle that so many Ugandan's are trapped in.

Volunteer Expertise:
We here at Kikaaya College School like to harness the volunteers expertise from their home countries and are very open to the new ideas that volunteers may have on ways that they can help. Some of the fresh ideas that volunteers have brought include teaching a business class to the pupils, providing counseling to the children and setting up computer classes to aid computer literacy amongst the school's pupils.
Teaching:
Most volunteer teachers teach English and a second subject for example History, Geography or Biology, but KCS feels that when you come to Africa that we can give you a programme for your stay, but are always happy when a volunteer writes their own, with new and helpful initiatives, as it empowers the volunteer as well as those in need.
