Things we’re great at
Over the years we have carried out many activities and events aimed at promoting volunteerism
DOING GOOD
We promote volunteerism based on the simple idea of doing good to others and the environment. We mobilize our partners to join in the promotion of doing good, putting into practice the simple idea that every single person can do something good in any way
VOYA ANNUAL AWARDS
We work together with the government through the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection and county government to Identify, Recognize and Award exemplary Volunteers and Volunter Involving Organizations every year during a fete dubbed the ‘Volunter of the Year Award’

It seeks to examine how strategic partnerships in the volunteer sector have contributed to sustainable development, especially in the context of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and as we approach the deadlines for Agenda 2030.
