Volunteering

Volunteering with thread of change africa, a non -governmental organization committed to empowering underprivileged children through clothing and education has been one of the most meaningful experience of my life. As a volunteer, i was involved in several key activities which includes organizing clothing drives, sorting and distributing donations, assisting with the coordination of educational outreach programs within local communities. These efforts aimed to ensure that children also need the right educational resources needed to thrive.


Throughout my time with thread of Change africa, i developed a deeper understanding of community engagement, teamwork, communication and organizational skills by working closely with passionate group of volunteers and community leaders.


This experience has not only reinforced my commitment to humanitarian work but has also inspired to continue advocating for equal opportunities for all children across the continent.
