Why Volunteer for Edukid?

Edukid is an Approved Activity Provider for the DofE Awards which recognises our Global Citizenship Volunteer Programme as an excellent opportunity for young people.

Edukid is a charity that helps to remove the barriers to education faced by children living in acute poverty. We work closely with communities in Uganda, Cambodia and Peru and set up projects to support children throughout their education.

But we can’t run these projects without the support of people like you.

Together with other young people from across the globe, Edukid’s remote volunteer programme helps you to develop and explore your role as a Global Citizen with the power to make a difference. We want to show you that you can make a huge impact even within communities based overseas. You are a Global Citizen with the power to transform lives through relatively small actions.
