100% of your donation goes directly to programs - education, women's empowerment, or counseling services. We keep administrative costs minimal. You can designate your donation to a specific program like Education, Women Empowerment, Dream with CODE, or the Elderly Caravan - or allow us to use it where it's needed most.
Yes! We welcome both local and international volunteers. Opportunities include teaching, mentoring, administrative support, skills training for women, and more. Teaching positions prefer education backgrounds, but many roles simply require enthusiasm, reliability, and a heart for service. We provide orientation and training for all volunteers.
