We are a group of organizations that supports the UN resolution to promote volunteerism as a cross-cutting means of implementation towards the achievement of SDGs and any other government development strategies

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’

VOLUNTEERING INFRASTRUCTURE

We have worked with the government to develop a National Volunteerism Policy and its Implementation Framework and currently finalizing on a Proposed Law on Volunteerism. We engage with other like-minded partners to fast track volunteer initiatives for sustainable development

Upcoming Conference

The conference aims to unpack the concepts of inclusion and innovation in volunteering and their significant contribution and impact on Africa’s development. 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.
