Volunteer
with us
Programmes are delivered by people, and the people who deliver them best are usually the ones who live where the work happens. If that is you — in Pakistan or Saudi Arabia — we would like to hear from you.
The best programmes are run by the people the programme is for
Where volunteers
actually help
We are specific about this, because vague volunteering wastes the volunteer's time more than ours. These are the roles where an extra person genuinely changes what a programme can do.
Session delivery
Running health-education sessions alongside product distribution. Requires fluency in the local language and, for menstrual health sessions, that you are a woman — participants and their families are clear on this and so are we.
Data collection and follow-up
Administering baseline and follow-up instruments accurately and consistently. Unglamorous, and the single most valuable thing a volunteer can do — a programme with weak follow-up data cannot prove it worked.
Translation and localisation
Urdu, Sindhi, Pashto, Punjabi, Balochi and Arabic. Instruments and education material have to work in the language people actually think in, not a translation of the language we wrote them in.
Community liaison
Engaging schools, mothers, teachers and community leaders before a programme arrives. Standing in a community is not something an organisation can bring with it.
Professional skills, remotely
Measurement and statistics, programme design, legal, translation review, communications, and research. Structured, defined pieces of work — not open-ended availability.
Where
We deliver in Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. Remote roles are open from anywhere, provided you can work to a fixed schedule.
What we ask
Three
conditions
Safeguarding comes first
Volunteers working with children or vulnerable adults are inducted on our safeguarding and conduct standard before any contact, and are subject to reference and background checks appropriate to the role and the jurisdiction. There are no exceptions to this, including for people we know.
Commit to a defined period
Follow-up data is only useful if the same people collect it the same way over time. We would rather have four months of reliable commitment than a year of intermittent availability.
Dignity is not optional
No photographing participants without separately-taken consent, no publishing images of distress, and no asking anybody to perform need in order to receive help. Volunteers who cannot work this way are asked to stop.
Register your
interest
Tell us where you are, what you can do and how much time you genuinely have. We reply to everyone, including when the answer is that we have nothing suitable right now.
