Volunteers boost trust in global health
This is one of a series of six stories for International Volunteer Day (IVD) 2022. The theme for this IVD is solidarity through volunteering: Together, act now. On 5 December, throughout the world, the value of volunteers will be celebrated and recognized. While the world grapples with humanitarian and development challenges – amid wars and climate change, we need volunteers. We need solidarity. And people working together for a common good.
A large part of being a volunteer is that you have ownership of your solutions – that's the story of Hajara Maimuna Idi, a community volunteer in Borno State, northeast Nigeria.
