FREDAfrica’s work is made possible by the many volunteers that have partnered with us over the years. The video below was created by nursing students from California, USA who volunteered with us for 3 weeks, providing treatment to people from hard to reach areas in Uganda. As COVID-19 restrictions ease in Uganda, we are seeking future volunteers!
