Needs From: Niagara University

In April 2026, we will be selling fragrant, locally-made soy candles for $12 each.  Proceeds from this fundraiser will support our projects in rural Uganda.  We need several volunteers to help us sell candles in April.  Candles will be delivered in early May, in time for Mother's Day.  

Global African Village is a small, all-volunteer nonprofit doing humanitarian work in rural Uganda.

Help us connect with high school and college students, clubs, and groups needing to complete service hours. 

We have no office or staff; just three of us run Global African Village outside our full-time jobs in other fields.  This means that our time to research and make phone calls is rather limited. 

This volunteer opportunity involves researching and making outreach phone calls. You can do as much or as little as you'd like; we welcome any and all help with this task.

We have no office or staff.  Just three of us run Global African Village outside our full-time jobs in other fields, so our ability to do research and make daytime phone calls is limited.

You can devote as much or as little time to this volunteer opportunity as you'd like.  Any contacts you can make with area businesses willing to partner with us for a fundraiser would be most welcome.
