Venture 2 ImpactVolunteer in Indonesia and India
Informational Package
Our MissionTo transform individuals, families and communities out of poverty into lasting wellbeing.
About Us: Our InceptionVenture 2 Impact, previously known as Uganda Venture, is an organization and a movement that started in 2006 to help communities in Uganda break the cycle of poverty.
Since our inception, we’ve been promoting transformational development to overseas communities while helping our involved volunteers better understand world poverty. We address issues of isolation, vulnerability, powerlessness, physical weakness among other forms of poverty, creating an environment where locals and North Americans can grow.
Over the last nine years our work was exclusively focused on projects in Uganda. We partnered with communities in the Mpigi district of Uganda to create programs and projects that aim to elevate their standard of living
About Us: The WorkVenture 2 Impact has strategically focused itself around three E’s: Education, Empowerment, and Economic Development.
We believe that through initiatives in these three areas, we are able to bring individuals out of poverty and into lasting wellbeing. While our initiatives within each category ebb and flow based on local needs, solutions, and opportunities, these pillars are the strong foundation to all the work that Venture 2 Impact does.
