What is World of Difference?

World of Difference is an innovative charitable volunteering initiative currently being delivered across the international network of Vodafone Foundations.

The Safaricom Foundation is in the second year of this initiative having launched it to the Safaricom Ltd staff in 2009. The first phase had 12 Safaricom staff take part. The second phase currently has 19 staff members taking part. In addition to the staff 3 students from Masinde Muliro University, Sangalo Institute of Technology and the Medical Training Centre in Webuye will have the opportunity to participate in this initiative.

The aim of the initiative is to take corporate philanthropy in a new direction. By providing support to skilled people with a passion to work for charity, it provides new talent to the charities and taps into their energy and ambition to deliver more to the charity than money alone can give.

This programme, managed by the Foundation, gives staff the unique opportunity to be paid to work for their dream charity. Currently 5 partner organizations are benefitting from the skills and passion of the staff seconded to their organizations.
