Thank you.

Your generosity will spark lasting change

Real change starts when people choose to act. Thank you for your kindness today. You’ve joined a like minded group of people determined to make the world a fairer, more just place to live.

You are helping volunteers spark others to build confidence and skills, to teach, to volunteer, to stand up, and take control of their futures. You are at the heart of igniting and fuelling lasting change.

Together we will stand behind volunteers so they can choose to act. Until no voice goes unheard, until no dream is out of reach. Until no-one stands alone.

What else can you do?

The women turning waste into wages on Kenya’s dumpsites

In Nairobi, Kenya, waste pickers are working every day, cleaning up their communities by picking waste and taking it to recycling centres. Women waste pickers, like Vanessa, earn little for their essential work, and face abuse from residents who see their jobs as ‘dirty'.
