“I am enjoying volunteering with SlumAid. I am part of the online English program. The best part about this program is that it allows me to volunteer from the comfort of my own home! I get to teach children from another part of the world and get to know their culture. This has been a positive experience and I would do it again.”

"In the last 18 months, Society for the Improvement of Rural People (SIRP-NIGERIA), has been able to impact on the lives of people; especially women and children,in Enugu State, Nigeria, because of our partnership with SlumAid; through volunteering and provision of support to us to be able to change the poor living conditions of many people through education, health and community empowerment projects”.

"My volunteering experience was extraordinary. At the beginning I thought it was too challenging but at the end, with the love of all children, the teachers and local staff’s help the experience became magic, super exciting and enriching”.

“The parents of our students at St Michael's Secondary School, Nairobi struggle to pay for school fees. We were delighted to receive SlumAid's assistance to help the Form 4 (final year class) students with some educational resources. The calculators certainly helped the students in their mathematics course”

“The relationships I built with the local children, teachers and other community members really made the difference. Through SlumAid I was able to improve the future for children and families who are marginalised in society. This helped me to focus my own future on the third sector and continue this type of work”

“We are proud to partner with SlumAid UK and implement programmes together in Sierra Leone. Because we both share the same aim and objectives of reducing poverty and ensure the good health and well-being of children, women and girls living in slums and poor rural communities by using the power and skills of volunteers, within one year three months of our partnership we are able to impact the lives of hundreds of children with our Bicycle Project and connect with professional teachers across the world with our online teaching classes”

“My experience as a virtual English tutor for children in Mumbai is very positive. I am teaching the most enthusiastic students I have ever met so far. The respect students have shown to learning has definitely moved me a lot”

“I thoroughly enjoy teaching English to the primary school children in Sierra Leone every Wednesday morning! The children are very engaged and proactive. Overall I have learned a lot about myself and the children through this experience”
