Jersey Culture in #Uganda is more than a fashion; it’s a way to connect ⚽️👕🇺🇬

#PeaceCorps Volunteers wear football jerseys to help them fit in with their communities, start conversations, and turn a simple outfit into a beautiful opportunity for cross-cultural exchange.

Across #Uganda, every #PeaceCorps Volunteer has one special connection: the local market. 🥑🍍 More than a place to buy food, markets are where Volunteers build relationships, learn from their communities, and connect through everyday life. 🇺🇬

🚲 For many Peace Corps Volunteers, bikes are more than transportation—they’re a way to reach work, explore communities, visit markets, and stay active.

Happy World Bike Day from Peace Corps Uganda! 🇺🇬

In Uganda, many girls face period poverty due to limited access to sanitary pads. Peace Corps Health Volunteers teach communities to make RUMPS (Reusable Menstrual Pads) — washable, low-cost pads made from local materials that help keep girls in school and reduce stigma.
