Community Kitchen
Cook, serve and clear at the feeding programme that started all of this.
- Prep and cook alongside the regular team
- Serve with dignity — no queue photographs
- Food hygiene training provided free
Money is not the only currency
A Saturday morning. A medical licence. A van and a driving licence. Fluent Hausa. Whatever you have, there is almost certainly a family it would reach further than a cheque.
Why volunteer with us
This organisation began as volunteers, and it is still mostly volunteers.
That is not a cost-saving measure. Volunteers from the community know which street flooded last year, which family has stopped sending their daughter to school, and which grandmother will not ask for help even when she needs it. No paid programme officer can replace that.
We ask for honesty about your time rather than heroics. An hour a month you actually keep is worth far more to us than a day a week you cannot.

Volunteering Questions
The ones people ask before they apply.
Yes — genuinely. Two hours you reliably show up for beats a day a month you cancel. Tell us honestly what you can keep to and we will build around it.
For four of the six roles, none at all — we train you. Medical volunteering needs current professional registration, and driving roles need a valid licence. Everything else we can teach.
No. We reimburse travel to and from placements, and meals on full field days. Volunteering should cost you time, not money.
Anyone working near children or vulnerable adults goes through a safeguarding check and two references. It is not personal — it is the same for everyone, including our trustees.
For skills-based and remote work, absolutely — grant writing, translation, design and bookkeeping all happen at a distance. Field roles need you on the ground, and we do not run voluntourism placements.
Cannot give time right now?
That is completely fine. A monthly gift funds the training and travel that makes everyone else's volunteering possible.
