Volunteers contribute hours and hours of free support to Urunji Child-Care Trust. From rapid response to project implementation, UCCT maintains a cohort of selfless volunteers who help us make a difference. Volunteers are our ‘Agents of Change’ who ultimately become our Goodwill Ambassadors when they show extra-ordinary strengths and go an extra mile to support our work.
It’s so exciting and fulfilling to support someone in need and to see the difference. Our Team 50 Club is a group of selfless individuals (you could be one of them today) who donate $50, £50 or €50 a month. That’s less than $2, £2 or €2 a day to support a needy child in Malawi or towards our general operating expenses. Eager to join the Team 50 Club? You are almost there.No forms to fill, no obligations to make: just set up a recurring donation and get a tax deduction if you donate from a US bank account.
