Wanted: A Workshop manager for our project that will help people at home and in Uganda.

We’re opening the Amigos Tool Hub in a railway arch at Exeter St Thomas, and we need a Tool Hub Manager to run it.

Donated tools come in. They get sharpened, de-rusted, re-handled and PAT tested. Then they either go on sale locally to support Amigos or get shipped to Uganda, where a decent set of tools can mean a new life for someone starting out.

You’ll help set up the workshop, build and lead a team of volunteers, and manage tool collections, sales and deliveries. Three days a week, on site in Exeter.

Practical, organised and good with people? This might be the most satisfying job you’ll ever do.

Closing date: Friday 27 November, 5pm.

One last little glimpse of Uganda!

A few more photos from our friends’ final day with us before heading back home to the UK! ✈️

What a lovely way to round off their Ugandan adventure! We’ve loved having Pilton Community College with us on Kira Farm, sharing experiences, making memories and building friendships.

By now, they should be back on UK soil, hopefully reunited with family and friends and already thinking about all the stories! 🇬🇧

Thank you for coming, Pilton! 🙌🏾

Back from Murchison, and we’re straight onto the next adventure! 🇺🇬

Today, we’re getting a taste of Uganda in a whole new way! 😋 Before our final supper together, there’s work to be done — and it all starts in the garden!

From harvesting fresh food/ingredients to preparing a proper Ugandan meal, our visitors are getting hands-on with the whole journey from garden to plate… and finally to our mouths!

And of course, there’s chicken and goat on the menu! 🐐 But we’ll spare you that particular visual treat… Instagram might not be quite ready for it!

It’s all part of experiencing life on Kira Farm — learning new skills, sharing cultures, working together and enjoying some delicious Ugandan food along the way, before this trip comes to the end.

Now, who’s ready for a feast tonight? 🇺🇬

We’ve packed a lot into one single day! 🙌

Started off by making MHM (Menstrual Hygiene Management) pads, helping to promote menstrual health and dignity.

Next up was a practical challenge to make tippy taps and improved cookstoves (mad stoves) — simple, sustainable solutions that support better hygiene and help reduce the need for cutting down trees ♻️

⚽ And to finish the day? A football match against the Kira trainees! Let’s just say there was plenty of energy, teamwork and competitive spirit to go around! 👌🏾☀️

Who do you think won the football match? 👀⚽ Drop your predictions in the comments!

Pilton Community College

Same school spirit, a different experience! 📚

Today, our Pilton students have visited a local school, getting a glimpse of what school life can look like on this side of the world!

The classrooms, school environment - it is all a chance to experience a different culture, share smiles, meet new friends and discover what makes each school community special 🤝

A big thank you to ‘Magigye SDA’ for welcoming our Pilton friends and making them feel at home 🙏🏾

Getting to grips with some practical work! 🛠️

Today, our UK friends are rolling up their sleeves and working alongside Kira Farm trainees to build a fence around the farm! 💪🏽🧱

It’s all about teamwork, learning from one another, sharing skills and, of course, getting a little muddy along the way - the rains haven’t helped, but we get on!

Different backgrounds, one team, and plenty of hard work while learning some new words like ‘Panga’.🇺🇬🇬🇧

When words aren’t enough, let the dancing do the talking! 🇺🇬 🥁💃🏾

One thing for certain — they’re off to a great start! And who knows, we might just send them home with a few new dance moves! 💪🏾

Pilton Community College

Jambo, Pilton Community College! Welcome to Uganda! 🇺🇬

We’re delighted to welcome the wonderful team from Pilton Community College to Uganda and to Kira Farm for the next couple of days! 🙌🏾

Over the next few days, we look forward to sharing our work, exchanging stories, making memories and giving out a little taste of life in Uganda!

Will there be new friendships? Absolutely! Laughter? Most definitely! A little adventure? You can count on that!

Karibuni sana!

Let the Ug adventure begin! 🌍🇺🇬

Today on Kira Farm.

Two weeks of business, and now it’s time to crunch the numbers. After two weeks of putting their business skills into practice, the trainees are back with their trainer, Pastor Peter Genza, for the final recap!

They’ve been busy making products, serving customers, making sales and learning what it really takes to run a business. But there’s more to business than simply making money!

Now it’s time to look at the numbers, work out the costs, calculate the profits and make sense of the accounts. Because knowing how much money has come in is one thing, but understanding where it has gone and what you’ve actually earned is what makes good business sense!

With a final word of encouragement from their trainer, our trainees are learning to turn practical experience into business knowledge, build confidence and take steps towards becoming successful entrepreneurs💪🏾

Experience Uganda with Amigos! | 26 April to 7 May 2027

Fancy a trip that no travel agent could put together? Join us in Uganda next spring for our Supporters Trip.

🌱 Start at Kira Farm, spending time with our trainees on the farm, visiting projects, getting stuck in at a local school and helping out in the community.

🚙 Head north to rural communities where we work and see a side of Ugandan life most visitors never get near. Maybe a pit stop for a roadside chicken wing roast, smoky, sizzling and eaten with your fingers! 🍗 🔥

🏡 Catch up with Kira graduates, visit their homes and businesses, and if you sponsor a child, there’s a chance to meet them and their family.

🦏 Finish with a boat trip up the Nile to Murchison Falls, the world’s most powerful waterfall, a day and night safari in Murchison Falls National Park, and a walk with rhinos at Ziwa.

Around £1,400 per person plus flights. A genuine trip of a lifetime, and we don’t say that about many things!
