A day in the life of a volunteer
From the 7 am food bank shift to an afternoon reading club, one Saturday volunteer shows us what a day of help looks like.
Last year, supporters like you funded 14 clean water wells, 3,200 school kits and 41,000 meals across 36 communities.
Each well is built with the village and kept running by a trained local committee, so it still works ten years later.

In eighteen months, supporters funded three classrooms, forty desks and two teachers' salaries for a village school that used to teach under a tree.
From bake sales to sponsored runs and birthday pledges, ten simple ideas our supporters have used, plus a free fundraising pack.
