We need volunteers from all walks of life with varied skills, abilities, and knowledge. The most important asset is the passion and commitment to achieving the goals of the Mgahinga Community Development Organisation (MCDO). If you think you have what we are looking for and want to become involved in an African community, working with them and helping them find a way out of poverty and achieve sustainable development for them, the environment, and for future generations, then please contact us and see what difference you can make.
