At the heart of the Johnson Alice Foundation (JAF) lies a community of passionate individuals—volunteers—who give their time, skills, and compassion to serve the most vulnerable in our society. Whether it’s mentoring a child, assisting during a medical outreach, or training widows in small business skills, every act of volunteerism strengthens our mission to bring hope and healing across Nigeria and Africa.
A Journey of Impact: Janet’s Story
Janet, a university student in Lagos, joined JAF as a volunteer teacher for our Child Education Support program. “I thought I was just coming to teach kids math,” she shared. “But I ended up learning more from them than I gave. Seeing their eagerness to learn despite hardship moved me deeply. It reminded me why education is a right, not a privilege.”
Janet now mentors five children regularly, and her impact continues to grow—proving that one willing heart can spark a lasting difference.
Healing with a Heart: Dr. Tunde’s Experience
During our recent medical outreach in Kwara State, Dr. Tunde volunteered his services to provide free checkups and medication to elderly residents. “Many hadn’t seen a doctor in years. Some walked miles to get here. That kind of resilience humbles you,” he recalled.
His act of service helped over 150 people access basic healthcare in one weekend. More than that, it restored dignity and reminded our elderly that they are not forgotten.
Empowering Women: A Volunteer Trainer’s Reflection
Sarah, a business coach and mother of two, volunteered as a trainer in our Widows & Single Mothers Enterprise Program. She taught 20 women how to make natural soaps and package them for resale. “These women came in broken, but left confident. They had hope in their eyes again.”
Through Sarah’s guidance, many women launched micro-businesses and can now support their children independently.
Why Volunteering Matters
Volunteers are the heartbeat of JAF. Their energy fuels our outreach programs, their time bridges the resource gap, and their humanity inspires everyone they meet. Through service, they become part of a larger story—one that’s writing a new chapter for Africa’s future.
“Volunteering with JAF helped me realize that service is not about how much time you give, but the love you bring with you.” – Anonymous Volunteer
