UCDVO works in partnership with a number of charities, non-governmental and not-for-profit organisations. Currently, partners are in Cambodia, Tanzania and Uganda. UCDVO has built strong relationships in each of the communities and partners over a number of years. We run short term volunteer projects with each project designed in collaboration with our partners based on the needs of the local community. Types of volunteering projects include supporting partner programmes in the areas of health (paediatric disability, nutrition), non formal education, and sustainable livelihoods.

India and South-East Asia
In 2024 UCDVO ran its first project in Cambodia - an education project with MOEI. UCDVO is currently reviewing this pilot project, and hopes to continue this partnership with MOEI, providing non-formal English conversation classes. Between 2003 - 2019, UCDVO ran volunteer projects with partners in New Delhi, Assam and Meghalaya.
Tanzania
In 2023, UCDVO commenced a partnership with the Holy Union Sisters in Dar es Salaam supporting the paediatric disability day care services in the Matumaini Centre. UCDVO intends to continue this collaboration in 2025. UCDVO previously worked with TanzEd and Camara Education in Morogoro District, for 10 years until 2019.


Uganda
UCDVO has worked in partnership with civil society organisations in Uganda for the last decade. In 2025 UCDVO will run volunteer projects in Uganda with partners Nurture Africa (health), Church of Uganda Kisiizi Hospital (health), and plastic up-cycling social enterprise Eco Brixs (sustainability). UCDVO also plans to run a pilot sport in development project - more details to follow.
