Sustainability
Our sustainability program includes vocational and entrepreneurship skill development and community social tourism with overall goal to create additional income opportunities, enhance conservation, agri-business, and climate change adaption to nurture resilient communities. We also offer social volunteering opportunities to people from around the globe to donate their time, skills/ expertise, and other resources of their choice to contribute not only by transferring valuable skills but also get into understanding and connecting with African culture, while directly supporting projects that accelerate breaking the cycle of poverty.
Socio-Eco Tourism
Responsive community tourism is a possibility to help the people to get a fair share of the tourism industry and thereby encourage them to engage in the region’s valuable and beautiful wildlife. Owned and managed by the local community, it will help in creating jobs, providing employment, diversifying local economy through tourism-entrepreneurship, and promoting conservation and climate change actions.
Social Volunteering
Through our work, we have come to realize that volunteers are an integral part of everything that happens at our organization. Many small community based organization are doing great work to help people, but often constrained by lack of community people with different skill set.
To address this, we are developing SOCIAL VOLUNTEERING project to help in sourcing international volunteers to help with our grassroots programs and the projects of other organisations working in Kasese district. PARC-Uganda will therefore recruit and host willing, non-skilled and skilled international volunteers to help in expansion and stabilization of our programs.
Vocational Training
Due to high unemployment rates, social norms and low education levels, the employment opportunities for women are limited. Most of these women lack collateral, steady employment and credit history, so they do not qualify for access to banking or traditional loans.
Many children drop out of school after losing a parent(s) or enduring violent atmospheres, or due to other reason. If a girl gets pregnant before finishing school, she is most likely not allowed to finish the studies and will, therefore drop out. She will struggle to get a job, so she can’t create an income.
