SERVE Uganda

We’ve been working with Nets4Life and Pumziko Africa since our inception and our mission in Uganda is to equip our African partners with the community, funds, tools and resources to change their culture from the inside out.

In 2023, our SERVE team completed the Livelihood and Sustainability Project which now provides entrepreneurial opportunity to the remote village community of Katega in the Mubende District.

Our vision is to build an entire community center that will serve once of the most remote parts of Africa, not just for its survival, but so that it can thrive in the fullness of joy, too.

Applications are not yet open for the 2024 SERVE team.

  • The exact details of the 2024 SERVE Uganda team are TBD, but our current direction is to start by building a youth fitness facility adjacent to the Livelihood and Sustainability Project that was completed in 2023. This team will simultaneously work with local village leaders and local fitness coaches from Pumziko Africa to mentor a comprehensive direction in character-centered curriculum in affiliation with the local church and school institutions.

  • Experience in the fitness industry and/or construction would be a relevant benefit to this team and the specifics of what we will be doing, but also not a strict requirement. All US travelers to Uganda are required to have a yellow fever vaccination in order to leave Uganda - all other vaccinations are voluntary and should be up to your discretion. You will have required reading and preparatory research and team meetings prior to departure.

  • You will be responsible for your own airfare. There is a $1300 registration fee that will include housing, shared meals and in-country transportation. A $650 non-refundable deposit will be required if or when your application is approved to secure registration; the remaining balance will be due prior to team departure. Depending on where you are traveling from or to, as well as food and incidental costs in Uganda, you can likely expect to spend approximately $2500-3000.

  • The Uganda Travel Advisory by the US Embassy is currently a Level 3 (Reconsider Travel). There are inherent risks when traveling to a third-world nation and especially one that is subject to the tribal and political tensions common in many African countries. Our aim is to keep everyone as safe as possible, but it is your responsibility to make a complete risk assessment and consciously consider what you’re stepping into. Feel free to email info@pointonevision.com with your questions.

Hand Up, Not Hand Out

Our African partnerships are built on the principle of empowering locals to change poverty culture from the inside out. When you join this SERVE team or contribute to this project, you positively impact Ugandan cultural leaders to thrive in the good things that they’re already doing.
