About the Programme

What is KUPARTS?

KUPARTS — the Kingstone Uganda Project Africa Rural Teaching Scheme — is an initiative developed by Mr Matthew Milburn to create a meaningful bridge between UK volunteers and the schools and communities of Kingstone Uganda Project.

We welcome anyone from the UK — school leavers, graduates, working professionals, career breakers, retirees, or anyone who simply feels called to serve — to travel with us to Uganda and contribute whatever they uniquely bring.

Teaching, sport, healthcare, computing, music, art, farming, business, cookery, or simply willing hands and an open heart — there is a place for you.

Professionals & Career Breakers

Teachers, nurses, engineers, IT workers, artists, farmers, coaches — anyone using a sabbatical or career break to do something that truly counts.

🤝

Anyone With Something to Give

No qualifications needed. A skill, a hobby, a trade, a passion — or simply willing hands and an open heart. If you want to serve, you are welcome.

UK-Based Volunteers (18+)

Currently open to anyone based in the United Kingdom, aged 18 or over, who can self-fund their travel to Uganda.

Your Role

What You Will Do

Your placement is shaped around you — your skills, your personality, your contribution. Here is what a typical experience includes.

  • Support classroom learning
    Work alongside KUP teachers in our primary and secondary schools, bringing fresh energy and perspectives.
  • Share your own skills
    Sport, music, art, drama, computing, farming, cookery, health — whatever you bring shapes what you give.
  • Engage with the community
    Build real relationships beyond the school — with families, community members, and children in everyday life.
  • Explore Uganda
    Guided excursions into Uganda’s wildlife, culture, and landscapes complement your placement.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need qualifications or professional experience?

Not at all. KUPARTS is genuinely open to everyone. What matters most is your willingness to contribute and your respect for the community. Any skill, background, or attitude can make a difference here.

How long is the programme?

Placements are flexible — typically 4 to 12 weeks. We work with each volunteer individually to find a duration that suits their life and circumstances.

Is KUPARTS a Christian programme?

KUP is a Christian organisation and our values reflect that faith. However, KUPARTS warmly welcomes volunteers from all faiths and none — what unites us is a shared commitment to serve Uganda’s children.
