About the conference
What is the conference about?
A space for inclusive and innovative volunteering through strategic partnerships in enhancing Africa's development — organized by Kenya Volunteering Consortium, Good Deeds Day International and VIO Kenya.
The conference explores inclusion, innovation and volunteering's impact on Africa's development. Over five days we'll discuss strategic partnerships, spend a day in the field with host communities across Nairobi, and build the next generation of volunteer leadership across the continent.
You'll leave with concrete partnerships, ideas and tools you can take back to your community.
