The Maser Foundation has launched a volunteer programme in Nigeria, with plans to extend the initiative across Africa, the organisation has announced. The programme marks a shift in how the foundation, established by businessman Prateek Suri, approaches community development on the continent.
Rather than relying solely on financial contributions, the Maser Foundation will recruit volunteers from a range of backgrounds, including students, educators, healthcare workers and community leaders, to work directly with local communities on ongoing projects.
The foundation operates across five areas: women’s empowerment, education, healthcare, humanitarian assistance and community support.
