Organization For Good Life Of The Marginalized In Uganda Charity Profile

Organisation for Good Life of the Marginalized (OGLM) OGLM is a Civil Organization Registered as a Non Governmental Organization by the National NGO Board under the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Uganda. OGLM implements community based Projects at the Grassroots. OGLM works for/with the Orphan & Vulnerable Children, Sex Workers, Grandmothers, Youths and Women.

Our program areas are around Health & Care, Educational Support, Sexual & Reproductive Health with a bias in HIV/AIDS and Market/Economic Access for the afore mentioned target groups.

OGLM was birthed out of commitment, love, hope and prayers by Ms. Grace Lwana, Ms. Barbara Munyaruguru, Waiswa Lillian and Christopher Kalema way back in time but started implementing projects in May/2003.

OGLM was founded with a vision of "A society that is free from HIV/AIDS, Poverty and recognizes the needs of the marginalized" and a mission of "To reduce Poverty and HIV/AIDS among the marginalized especially women, children and youth in Uganda through socio-economic empowerment, advocacy and information sharing".

Organization For Good Life Of The Marginalized In Uganda Volunteer Information

Everyone can be of service. OGLM Volunteers has no language or professional requirements for participation. Volunteers typically share common characteristics such as flexibility, compassion, a sense of adventure, and most important, the desire to work with and learn from local people in the host community. Volunteers are drawn from all occupations and backgrounds, and from throughout the world. Each volunteer selects a service program that best employs their experience and interests, and a program where the volunteer feels engaged in a community project of lasting benefit.

Volunteers must be in good health and have the mental and physical capability to function as a team member. Therefore if you're open to new challenges and enjoy working with and learning from local people, then you can contribute to and benefit from a service-learning program. What we ask of you is flexibility, patience, a spirit of adventure, and a sense of humour. Most Ugandan cultures are very friendly though some provide a greater degree of predictability than others due to cultural norms.
