United Abroad UK (UAUK) was founded with a vision to bridge the gap between passionate individuals seeking meaningful international experiences and communities in need of sustainable support.

RecogniSing the growing demand for purpose-driven travel, we set out to create opportunities where volunteers can contribute, learn, and grow while making a real impact.

OUR MISSION

At United Abroad UK, we believe in the power of volunteerism to create positive, lasting change. Our mission is to provide meaningful international volunteer experiences that empower individuals to contribute to education, healthcare, environmental conservation, and community development in Africa.

By connecting passionate individuals with impactful projects, we aim to:

  • Foster cross-cultural understanding

  • Support sustainable development initiatives

  • Equip volunteers with valuable skills and global perspectives

  • Create life-changing experiences for both volunteers and local communities

Our Vision

We envision a world where global citizenship and cultural exchange drive meaningful transformation. Through our tailored projects, we strive to:

  • Bridge communities by creating authentic, immersive experiences

  • Empower local projects by supporting grassroots initiatives

  • Inspire change-makers who return home with new perspectives and a commitment to global impact

With every volunteer, we take one step closer to a more connected and compassionate world

Our organisation is based in the UK, with our operational hubs in Kenya & Zimbabwe. We work closely with local communities, NGOs, and educational institutions to develop programs that address real needs while fostering personal and professional growth for our volunteers.

Our goal is to ensure that every volunteer experience is safe, impactful, and enriching, providing both personal development and lasting contributions to the communities we serve.

We want to help volunteers embark on transformative journeys, learning new skills, forming lifelong friendships, and making a difference where it matters most.
