TUS expanding student volunteering opportunities

TUS strengthens ties with Nurture Africa, expanding student volunteering opportunities

TUS has renewed and expanded its partnership with Nurture Africa, an Irish-founded NGO providing vulnerable communities in Uganda with access to healthcare and education. The three-year agreement grants eligibility to all TUS students to apply to volunteer with Nurture Africa on their summer programme; previously, this opportunity was only available to TUS nursing students.

This summer, participating students will fly to Nansana, Uganda, Nurture Africa’s headquarters, for three weeks to gain insight into development work in another country, working on projects like HIV testing, vaccination clinics, health promotion, educational talks, literacy, and sustainable livelihood visits.

All healthcare activities will be supervised by qualified clinical practitioners and all student volunteers will work closely with community workers to understand the needs of the vulnerable Ugandan communities they’re supporting.
