Volunteer with Women in Kenya

This volunteer programme works in two ways, however, the activities that the volunteers undertake are aimed towards the same goal which is to empower a woman.

  • We work with HIV/Aids centres where all the women involved are HIV/Aids positive. These are people who have faced the worst in their lives due to poverty, stigmatisation and abuse from mostly their husbands and close family members.
  • The second group are those women who are HIV/Aids negative but come from very poor homes and are not able to feed their children due to poverty. Their aim of coming together is to work together, give each hope in life, learn new skills etc.

In both the two groups they meet in one location on rented or sponsored premises on a daily basis to learn skills in bead work, dress making & sewing, soap making etc. They then sell the products that they make and out of it they earn little money. The skills also help them to make products e.g. necklaces, earrings etc and sell them individually which helps them support their families.

Volunteer with Women in Uganda

If you’re someone who is interested in promoting better opportunities for women in Uganda, this is a rewarding project to support.  As a volunteer on the Women’s Education project, you will work closely with local community centers, providing support to women and their families. You role will be focused on providing mentoring support around management,​ ​​financing and educational development to increase independence among the women and allow mothers to better support their families. Many of the women’s groups are involved in craft​-making through basket weaving, sewing, tailoring and jewelry-making, and the craft​s they make are then sold in order to generate income and provide for their families. Volunteers are also encouraged to create educational training materials on topics such as managing​ finances, vocational skills and building self-esteem.  You day will start from 8AM – 2PM
