Your Family, Yourself, and Others as you Work Learn and Love
AN experience of a Lifetime
Are you looking for an experience that opens your mind and expands your heart? Something meaningful and adventurous?
Work Together
We provide an opportunity for families to work together side-by-side with local villagers on sustainable, village-driven projects that promote empowerment and self-reliance.
Expand Your Heart
You’ll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in a new culture, expand your heart and mind, and make friends and memories that last a lifetime.
Hands-On Experience
You’ll participate in water projects, building schools, and unforgettable cultural experiences.
“Family Humanitarian expeditions are designed to be exhausting, exhilarating, and unforgettable. You’ll love deeper, work harder, and learn more than you ever thought possible. While attempting to change the life of someone else, you’ll undoubtedly change your own.”

Named the “Pearl of Africa,” Uganda is home to the Nile River and is considered among the top 20 most beautiful countries in the world. Family Humanitarian expeditioners will travel to Mbale and work in villages near the Kenya border. The scenery is breathtaking, and the people are warm, welcoming, and lovely.
Ghana
Summer 2026
No current public expedition, but private groups are welcome to inquire and schedule.
The Ghanaian saying, “Akwaaba” (meaning “welcome”), perfectly reflects the country’s warm and welcoming people. Ghanaians are known for their friendliness, hospitality, and for being easygoing and welcoming to outsiders. Ghana is home to over 100 different ethnic groups, each with its own language, customs, and traditions. Family Humanitarian expeditioners fly to Tamale to work in the poorer Northern Region.
