Become a Volunteer

At The CAMAB Centre in Nkolbisson, volunteers teach braille, computer skills, literacy and handicrafts. Others keep the association working: the roster already includes a web manager, an IT specialist, a graphic designer and a photographer. Advocacy needs people too, for awareness sessions in communities and for meetings with councils and ministries.

CAMAB’s constitution commits the association to no discrimination on age, race, disability or religion, and volunteering follows the same rule. Blind and partially sighted volunteers bring skills a learner can measure herself against. Sighted volunteers bring skills CAMAB does not yet hold in-house. Both are needed, and neither is a guest.

You will work alongside an association whose officers are blind and partially sighted women, and whose president must be one, by its own constitution. Sessions are small and practical. The centre began teaching with a single apprentice in April 2026, and that is still the scale. You will be asked to teach a skill, not to watch one being taught.

Write to us through the contact page and say what you can teach, make or repair, and when you are free. We will tell you plainly whether we need it now, later, or not at all. Volunteers give their time; the association provides the premises, the furniture and the office material itself.
