Volunteers bring dedication, energy & fresh ideas; helping @WHO engage communities & improve service delivery, says @HSHazarika, WHO Rep in #Angola.

Women’s rights must be known to be protected.

In #Madagascar 🇲🇬, Pierre volunteers with @UNHumanRights #ForAllWomenAndGirls, helping communities understand and discuss women’s rights through civil society groups and local authorities.

In #Kenya🇰🇪, Jane Mwendwa serves with @WFP in Marsabit, a remote, arid region near the Ethiopian border.

Volunteering is a powerful exchange, whether online or on site: the more you contribute, the more you make the world a better place.

💙 Like, comment, and repost if you believe in the power of volunteering.

The world is ageing.

It’s time to recognize the power of volunteering later in life.

Research by UNV and @ILO shows how older volunteers shape our world and why their role is so vital in ageing societies 👇🏽 @ILO_EMP_Policy https://t.co/3xX7LN1MJK

[UN Volunteers East and Southern Africa @UNV_ESARO]

Every second, someone volunteers somewhere around the world.

But how do we value #volunteer efforts? The Global Index of Volunteer Engagement (GIVE) in the 2026 State of the World’s Volunteerism Report by @UNVolunteers provides a framework.

This 2026 #VolunteerYear, countries across the region are scaling up volunteer action.

Last week, the government of #Madagascar🇲🇬 launched the Year with a national reforestation drive. Because, making the world better often starts with something as simple as planting a tree.🌱

[UN Volunteers East and Southern Africa @UNV_ESARO]

In 2025, to mark #16Days, @unwomenkenya & @UNVolunteers deployed 3⃣0⃣+ @AGCCIAfrica alumni as Community UN volunteers across 10 counties in🇰🇪.

@therealantoh What really hurts isn’t the posting — it’s the silence from your own MPs. If they were delivering even half of that work, you’d have something to post too. Accountability doesn’t stop at constituency borders, and visibility isn’t a crime — inactivity is.

@amenya_nelson The only thing on overdrive here is the yelling. Logic doesn’t mean amnesia, and noise doesn’t equal substance. If shouting on timelines paid bills or fixed policy, you’d be fully employed by now. Maybe give yourself some work — Kenya needs thinking, not decibels.

@KoinangeJeff @citizentvkenya @HEBabuOwino @NdindiNyoro @monicakiragu_ tell Mr. President Hon. @Babu_Owino, His address to the nation on Citizen TV reflects conviction, clarity, and a deep sense of responsibility to the Kenyan people. Such leadership gives hope to the future of our country. Kenya needs leaders of your calibre. 🇰🇪

[Geoffrey otieno @otigef]

@amenya_nelson Funny how shouting the loudest on Twitter suddenly makes one think they’re a national authority. Same script, different day — running timelines, throwing insults, and mistaking noise for impact. Kenya’s problems won’t be solved by perpetual outrage merchants.

@realMaalouf A PhD doesn’t override a country’s laws, culture, or hiring realities. France didn’t reject her degree — it rejected the mismatch between expectations and the workplace. Rights aren’t the same thing as job guarantees.
