Volunteers Foundation

What better way to get ready for a new term than with a training session?

Just before the school term kicked off, our dedicated teachers at Volunteers Foundation Academy refreshed and strengthened their IT skills with an intensive three-day course.

We cannot but applaud for the quality of the training . We are truly grateful for the collaboration with whose team welcomed our teachers warmly and guided them through this valuable learning journey.

We look forward to building on this partnership and exploring more opportunities to grow together! 🌱💻📚

Welcome back to school!

We are excited to see all our students, parents, and teachers as we begin our second term together at Volunteers Foundation Academy.

We hope everyone enjoyed a restful break and is ready for a new chapter of learning, growth, and opportunity.

Wishing all our students a fantastic start to the term - may it be filled with curiosity, hard work, and success.

A big thank you to our parents for your continued support, and to our dedicated teachers for your commitment to excellence.

Let’s make this second term our best one yet!

We all look up to someone and search for inspiration…

That’s why moments like these matter so much. A huge thank you to the incredible guests who joined our recent mentoring session and generously shared their professional journeys with our students.

Your stories of growth, resilience, and purpose lit a spark in the room — and made the future feel a little closer, a little more possible.

This session was even more special because some of our guests were VF Alumni, returning not just as professionals, but as role models.

Our students left the room inspired, motivated, and full of fresh ideas about their next steps — in learning, in life, and in career.

Thank you for showing them what’s possible , Michael Otieno , Lucy Odhiambo Taiwo Kola-Ugunlade

Helping others should be easy. Fulfilling. Even fun.

But the reality?
Balancing a charity’s challenges with its impact is tough.

For 15 years, trustees, volunteers, and donors have poured time, heart, and energy into Volunteers Foundation—navigating admin, fundraising, cultural learning, and community building.

And the result?
• 300+ students educated ( some in the pics)
• Teachers trained
• Parents engaged
• A safe place to learn, eat, grow—every single day

But the question remains:
Are we where we need to be—for the community and for the vision we set out to achieve?

The truth: there’s still a long road ahead.
More to do. More potential to unlock.

And we need YOU now more than ever.

A parent that would like to bring his child to our school asked what VF and VFA stands for.. we answered…

In a world that’s changing faster than ever - where global trends change overnight, and noise often overshadows meaning - values are what keep us grounded. They are our compass, our foundation, and the quiet strength that reminds us all at VF and VFA who we are, especially when the world seems to be in turmoil.

It’s through values that we connect deeply with others. They shape how people see us, trust us, and stand with us. And at Volunteers Foundation, and especially Volunteers Foundation Academy, values are everything.

For the last 15 years we committed to delivering quality education - education that opens doors, expands minds, and creates opportunities. But that is just part of what we do.

Because beyond academics, we exist to raise thoughtful, kind, responsible young people who will shape a better world.

Here are the values we live by - and teach:

• Respect: For self, for others, for the planet. Because every person matters.

• Integrity: Doing what’s right, even when no one is watching.

• Compassion: Helping others with empathy and kindness.

• Responsibility and Accountability: Owning our actions and understanding their impact.

• Curiosity: Asking, learning, growing. Education begins with a question.

• Courage: To speak up, to try, to rise after every fall.

• Collaboration: Working together with the teachers, community, partners and supporters to build something bigger than ourselves.

• No Violence in Any Form or Shape: We believe in peace, in dialogue, in non -violence - always. Whether physical, verbal, emotional, or structural - violence has no place in our school, our hearts, or our future.

• Transparency: We are open and honest in our actions and decisions. Trust is built through clarity, not confusion.

One of the most beautiful expressions of these values is our Cultural Day - a celebration of diversity, courage, and pride. On this day, our students with different cultural backgrounds come together to share their traditions, languages, and stories. They celebrate what makes them unique, and in doing so, they enrich one another. It’s a living example of respect, courage, collaboration, and curiosity - values turned into joy, pride, and intentional connection.

At Volunteers Foundation and Volunteers Foundation Academy, we are committed to nurturing not just students, but citizens of the world. Every single day, through every class, every interaction, and every opportunity, we work to instil these values.

Because we believe values aren’t just taught - they’re lived.

And when our students carry these values forward, they not only build a better future for themselves - they build a stronger, more compassionate world for us all.
