My Story

Hi, my name is Aisling Mellett and I am a Human Nutrition student and part of the UCD Volunteers Overseas team who is heading to Uganda this June to work with the Nurture Africa Healthcentre. UCDVO have been working with Nurture Africa since 2015. UCDVO and NurtureAfrica host a 4-week rehabilitation camp for children with disabilities andtheir families. This camp aims to empower those most at-risk including children with disabilities and their families, to live independent, productive lives in Uganda. This camp includes physiotherapy, public health, and nutrition assessments and interventions. Each volunteer is required to raise a minimum of €1,850 all of which goes to NurtureAfrica and the UCDVO programme. €1,500 will go to the partner programme and to project costs including transport and accommodation, and €350 will go to UCDVO programmeadministration costs including travel insurance and health and safety. Any donation big or small would be greatly appreciated,Thanks Aisling!
