Volunteers before 2022
Noolaham Foundation was initiated as a volunteer based project organization and has grown into an organization with the contribution of hundreds of volunteers. Even though we employ various employees as well, most of the activities are spearheaded the volunteers.
A volunteer can be as small as getting a photo or can be the participation of the strategic decisions of the Foundation. Volunteers can contribute towards Advocacy roles, Communication Team, Technology Team or Program Teams.
