Not every UN story starts in a conference hall. Some begin with a problem solved, a young person finding opportunity or someone finally accessing healthcare.
This #UNDay, our RCO Kenya colleagues share what that commitment looks like in everyday work in #UNKenya.
Happy UN Day!

Two things the International Volunteer Year asks of governments, in its own words:
Integrate volunteering into national development plans, legal frameworks, and sectoral policies.
Create the conditions in which every form of volunteering can happen.
