YIPPEEEEEEE!!!
We are so excited to have you join our team of volunteers to come out to Uganda and provide vulnerable and disadvantaged children a brighter future through a fun and exciting playground! Every adventure starts with the first step – so here is some info to help you get started on your journey…
Meet the dream team behind your journey to Uganda
You have probably spoken to or heard from one of our student fundraising team already, and wouldn’t you agree they are just the best! Our fundraising team is going to be with you every step of the way on your fundraising journey so that you can have an incredible experience when you head out to East Africa!
“How do I get started??” I hear you cry…
At Play Action International, we use JustGiving. This is our dedicated platform for all our fundraisers to collect donations, and it takes no more than 5 minutes to get your fundraising page set up. Your fundraising page is where you will direct all the people who will be supporting you to make a donation. Once you’ve created your account, it’s time to connect your fundraising page to your team page, this way you can all keep track of (and celebrate!) the total amount you have raised. To set up your page, click on your corresponding project dates found below.
Please DO NOT set up a fundraising page on any other platform and DO NOT create a crowdfunding page.
