We empower female engineers and women masons by providing them with apprenticeship and internship opportunities, as a chance of improving their employability. We work with Women to build more Affordable homes as a way of consolidating peace, protecting the environment, and generating sustainable incomes.
They are taught basics of civil engineering, construction techniques and other fundamental practices, where the good performers get a chance at employment. In this way, many people are able to pay their minimal rent amounts on time and own their houses in 3 to 5 years.

Can I bring my own family with me to Uganda?
Family members over the age of 18 can volunteer together and couples can be placed together. In some cases it may be possible to volunteer with your children as well, provided they will not require additional supervision. Due to the type of work you will be involved in and the current environment it is not advised that you bring young children with you.
When do I need to arrive in Uganda?
Volunteers can arrive at any time. After arriving, Volunteers take part in a orientation program for some days before they start to volunteer with Smart Havens Africa. It is suggested that volunteers arrive a few days earlier to settle in before programs begins.
