The areas of experience noted above are to best support the expressed areas of need from our partner,
Kisiizi Hospital.

 

A core part of CHEEERS: DHT ethos is that all funds raised go towards the projects that the charity
supports. Therefore, volunteers self-fund their flights, accommodation while travelling, food and weekend
trips. All fundraising goes directly to our projects in Uganda. 
 
If you are interested in volunteering with CHEEERS: DHT on our 2025 programme, please see the
information poster, draft itinerary and timelines below. The timelines include CHEEERS: DHT fundraising
events as well as the mandatory team training days. Our programme will runs over approximately a 5-
month period from when you are selected. 

 The mandatory training dates are essential to ensure thorough project planning, team building and
training in advance of the CHEEERS: DHT projects in Uganda. Interested participants should ensure that
they are available to attend all of the training days listed in advance of applying for the 2025 programme
(see application form for dates for mandatory training).
 
To ensure we get the best candidates to support our local partner, Kisiizi Hospital Uganda, all candidates
are required to complete an application form and attend an interview.
