Join the team

Give your time. It outlasts money.

Every distribution drive, health camp and school programme runs on volunteers. Bring your hands, your skills or your weekend, and we will put them to work where they matter.

Why volunteer

Small hours, outsized impact.

A wheelchair distribution needs people to assemble, fit and train. A screening camp needs registration desks staffed. A children's home lunch needs serving hands. None of it happens without volunteers, and all of it changes lives the same day.

  • Work directly with beneficiaries, not behind a screen
  • Flexible commitment, from one event to a regular role
  • Training and guidance from our rehabilitation professionals

Our volunteers don't just distribute devices; they fit them, explain them and stay until the beneficiary rides away smiling. That last part is why they keep coming back.
