For the 13 years that Ndali Lodge has been
situated in this beautiful spot we have become increasingly involved with
our neighbouring community. Aside from directly employing many
people from the immediate area and being one of the more substantial
customers of the local produce market in Rwaihamba, we also strive to
improve the lot of those around us through sponsorship, water-projects and
affiliation with local schools.

We are aided in many of our projects by guests of the lodge who see their involvement as a fulfilling way of staying connected to their time in Uganda. Donations made can be of a specific nature, for instance the sponsorship of a child through secondary school or a contribution towards the upkeep of any one of the schools with which Ndali is affiliated, or a general donation to the fund as a whole to be channelled where we feel it is most needed at the time. Since 2009 a small percentage of Ndali’s income from accommodation - $14 from each twin cottage & $10 from each single, has been donated towards our various ventures, so just by being here you are doing your bit!
We have had a number of overseas volunteers who have helped in our affiliated schools and with the development of new projects. Cordelia, from England, has returned once already and will be back this summer (and the next) – she will be updating the blog as often as possible on her trip as well as keeping the project pages up to date with our newest developments & ideas.
Some of our new projects are very exciting and could potentially need your help, so please do keep checking back. If you have any questions about how you can get involved or just want more information about a project then please get in touch with Cordelia at ndaliventures@gmail.com
