Volunteer Your Skills in Nyantaboma or From Home
Come and spend time with us in Nyantaboma, or lend your skills from wherever you are. Volunteers have taught reading groups, dug foundations, planted the school garden and become part of the family.
A Platform Built for Volunteers
The school posts what it actually needs. You choose what suits you. Nobody's time is wasted, least of all the teachers'.
Real Impact
You will hear children read, coach a football team, or put a roof on a classroom. At the end of a fortnight you can point at what you did.
Skill-Matched Tasks
Tell us what you are good at and we will show you where it is needed, whether that is phonics, carpentry, spreadsheets or netball.
In Nyantaboma or From Home
Join a two-week placement at the school in July or at Easter, or help from your kitchen table with newsletters, grant bids and training for our teachers.
Flexible Hours
Every task says how many hours it needs and by when, so you can fit it around work or study. Log your hours as you go.
What we need help with right now
Each task says where it is, how long it takes and what it needs. Apply with a short note and staff will confirm your place.
