Volunteering
We are a networking center in Uganda and serve as partners with Echo International, headquarter in South West Florida, USA.
Echo Farm (echonet.org) is an international christian organization that equip small-scale farmers, missionaries and development workers worldwide to combat hunger and poverty.
Through Echo we teach, we promote solutions to agricultural problems, we seek innovative ways to grow food in difficult conditions and have orgnized a food-bank system to support the needy in the village.
At our networking center in Menvu Uganda, we invite you to be part of Echo post-graduate program by serving as a hands-on academic training program in small-scale tropical agriculture.
Whether you're visiting us for a week or staying longer as a post graduate volunteer, you will enjoy the countryside and help us teaching at the already structured community-gardens and animal farms.
Countryside Living
We invite short-term stay volunteers and other guests to; * assist in training, harvesting from our home-grown food, fruits and vegetable gardens to the table. *provide seed packages and seed conservation education to the local small gardeners in Menvu community. *provide garden displays of agricultural options *provide locally appropriate sustainable agricultural practices.
Outdoor Life
The Estate is built on a sloped hill, which provides great views to the surrounding valleys and a maximum outdoor experience. You will enjoy the cool breeze sweeping from the valleys while relaxing at a stately front porch or snoozing on a hammock at our well-manicured topiary gardens. Rare exotic birds have been spotted flying over the area to their nearby nesting destination. It is a perfect place for nature lovers.
For the true adventurists, our estate is tent friendly for larger families and the outdoors people. With an outdoor shower & grill, our compound is available for rental to smaller groups of 20 -30 people.
