Why should you volunteer?

Improve job prospects & employabilityVolunteering can enhance your future employment prospects and enable employers to see that you have developed the necessary skills you may need in their organisation. It is especially useful when completing application forms and during job interviews to illustrate the skills you have developed through these voluntary experiences.

Experience Volunteering gives you a chance to get experience in a field you would like to work in, example teaching very poor kids in local communities like ours.

Opportunity for training and development

Volunteering provides you with development opportunities that are not always possible with paid employment, for example; communication and people skills, organisational and time management skills, planning and budgeting skills. It can help open up fresh opportunities and is a way to explore new career paths.

Many of the volunteer projects will include training, which will be useful both on the project and in later life.

Influence career choice

Illegal Immigrant Mother And Child seeks teachers from all nationality to join our free education education center to teach women and children.

We require the following skills:

Ability to teach adults beginners English course and Maths.

Ability to interact with students patiently.

Ability to handle stress and create a quality friendship between student and teacher.

Experience is an advantage however is not required; you will be giving materials and will get support from other teachers.

If you don't mind the environment and our limited sleeping quarters for teachers then you are welcome to join us.

Please note:

we provide little pocket money /gift for compensation as we depend on donations and volunteers to help these women and at the moment we are poorly funded, thank your for understanding.

Send us mail if you are interested to join this amazing experience.

The future of these poor communities depends on extending our educational assistance to both adults and Children as this will make them self reliant. IIMAC believes that women who are lacking educational opportunities are trapped permanently in poverty. Without jobs or skills to generate income, many people have migrated from the rural farming communities to the cities in search. Unfortunately, many of these people fail to find work and are forced to exist on the streets as beggars some end up being used for sex worker or drug trafficking.

We constructed the adult Skills Training Center to give individuals the opportunity to learn new trades in order to generate income.

The training programs help to prepare the young adults to become employable and self-reliant. We believe this will result in better care for their families, as well as pass their skills on to enrich their families for generations to come.

In addition to learning valuable trades, every individual enrolled in our Skills Enhancement Program must learn basic reading skills and arithmetic. We hope that this knowledge will enable women to survive and thrive in the business world.
