Volunteerism may sound different across communities, but its spirit is shared everywhere.✨

In Kenya & across cultures & languages, people continue to give their time & skills to support others.
In Swahili, this is Kujitolea. 🇰🇪

What's volunteerism in your local language?

Volunteering later in life isn’t just meaningful, it’s actually good for you.

Research from UNV and @ILO shows that volunteering plays an important role in healthy and active ageing, with benefits for both individuals and the people they volunteer for.
