Women's Only Kilimanjaro and Volunteering Expedition

Join our Women’s Only Kilimanjaro and Volunteering Trip from 1st March-10th March, 2024. Celebrate Women’s Day with a group of fellow women, participate in our projects empowering women such as soap-making, and collectively help us tackle issues of period poverty through distribution of reusable sanitary napkins and conduction of workshops on teenage pregnancy as well as maternal health.

Through the 'women's only' expedition, we want to showcase our commitment to improving the lives of girls and women. 52% of our child sponsorship and education beneficiaries are girls, and over half our staff identify as female. Additionally, 636 out of 800 supported farmers are women.

The volunteering trip will not only bring together women from different cultural backgrounds but will also allow volunteers to gain a rich cultural experience, learn from local community stakeholders, and put their expertise and skills to use for the good of the community. We want to connect our women volunteers with women from the community, creating cultural bridges and an international network of empowered women.

Use Your Special Leave to Volunteer or Fundraise With Us

Are you a Civil Servant? Do you work for a corporate? Civil servants in the UK are entitled to at least 5 days of special leave to volunteer with a charity across the world. Reach out to your employer to find out if they can support you with your charitable activities through paid leave or match-funding opportunities as you fundraise. Your expertise and time are invaluable to us both at our UK and Kenya offices. Email us at [email protected] for more information about how you can volunteer with us.

Our Porridge Kitchen Is Live

Our Porridge Kitchen has been running since early August and has provided over 80 meals to children and mothers suffering from malnutrition. Our porridge is fortified with spirulina, a blue-green algae we grow. You can continue supporting the Porridge Kitchen through Global Giving’s Little By Little campaign – donations up to ￡40 will be 50% match funded from 18th – 22nd September. Increase the impact of your donation by donating during the campaign!
