Tribu World is revolutionizing the nonprofit sector by addressing the critical challenges of outdated technology, limited resources, and fragmented operations. Many nonprofits struggle with inefficiencies, financial constraints, and lack of centralized spaces to engage stakeholders—barriers that weaken their ability to scale and sustain long-term impact.

Tribu was built to change that by making digital transformation accessible, enabling nonprofits to focus more on their mission and less on operational roadblocks.

As an all-in-one SaaS platform, Tribu streamlines operations with tools for membership management, payments, data visualization, and integrated fundraising systems, including crowdfunding campaigns. It enhances stakeholder engagement through community forums, communication spaces, and collaborative project tools. Beyond efficiency, Tribu fuels growth by introducing nonprofits to new revenue streams and fostering inter-organizational collaboration through its “meta community” model. By combining innovation with accessibility, Tribu empowers nonprofits to thrive, build resilience, and drive lasting social impact at scale.

Volunteer for an organisation combating mental health with menstrual literacy ❤️

Howami is an immersive menstrual wellness app for teens. Howami addresses the growing mental health risks for women, low menstrual literacy, and persistent period stigma. The World Health Organization’s 2023 Menstrual Health report highlights the global need for improved menstrual literacy and awareness. This report emphasizes the importance of education about menstruation and creating positive norms. Our innovation leverages advanced gaming technology for therapeutic outcomes, aiming to counteract the negative effects of social media by promoting embodiment and self-awareness.

Howami is an innovative mobile application designed to help  menstruating individuals engage with their menstrual cycle and emotions through the use of advanced game design technology, CGI visuals, and a fluid, gesture-controlled interface. Our mission is to combat the mental health crisis affecting women, a crisis exacerbated by unhealthy social media usage, lack of menstrual literacy, and persistent period stigma. Our app provides a safe, healthy, and non-exploitative platform tailored to the needs of people.

Campaign Lead: The Million Moon project

Campaign Lead – Howami  brings you "The One Million Moon" project

Volunteer Role · Global · Flexible Hours, to be discussed, starting ASAP in 2026!

Are you someone who: 
Believes young people deserve better?
Wants to challenge outdated systems that have failed to prioritise menstrual wellbeing?
Feels called to build something bold, compassionate, and culturally transformative?
Thrives at the intersection of creativity, activism, and social impact?
Cares deeply about young people, emotions, cycles, and the hidden work of growing up?
Wants to make real change — not just talk about it?

If yes, you might be the movement-builder we’re looking for.

Why this The Million Moon Campaign Exists
We’re bringing a groundbreaking global project to life in 2026 - a project that will shift how the world understands menstrual wellbeing and youth emotional literacy.

But we are not building it through the usual routes:
No venture capital.
No extractive profit-first models.
No gatekeepers shaping the direction of the work.

Instead, we are choosing to:
Place power in the hands of the community we serve - young menstruators, families, educators, allies.

Challenge the structures that have historically underfunded, misunderstood, or minimised menstrual health.

Prioritise care, safety, inclusivity, cultural sensitivity, and emotional wellbeing over growth-for-growth’s-sake.

Build a model of ethical resourcing that is transparent, human-centred, and participatory.

Create a movement first, and a product second.

This volunteer role is for someone who wants to help shape a new way of doing social impact work, one that honors lived experience, builds global community, and bypasses the systems that haven’t served us.

The full details of the project will be shared with the successful volunteer, but for now, what you need to know is this:

You will be helping us launch a global campaign unlike anything else in menstrual wellbeing.
A campaign rooted in art, story, community, and change.

Your Role: Campaign Lead (Movement Builder)
As Campaign Lead, you will work closely with Howami’s co-founder Nikki Berridge to bring this campaign into the world. Because the founder is narcoleptic with limited working capacity, you will be the operational heart of the project, the person who turns big vision into clear, coordinated action.

What You’ll Gain
A front-row seat to building a global menstrual wellbeing movement
Experience leading a culturally significant, multi-layered campaign
Opportunities to work with artists, educators, youth advocates, and storytellers
Mentorship and collaboration with Howami’s founder
A chance to shape a project that could shift culture for generations
A meaningful role that genuinely changes lives

You will:
Help consolidate and organise all existing ideas, research, and creative development.
Hold and organise the project workflow.
Help create decks, briefs, and communications tailored to different audiences.
Reach out to aligned influencers, partners, schools, brands, and communities
Assist in shaping public-facing messaging and campaign materials
Support Nikki in the design and management of this global awareness campaign
Co-steer the movement with confidence, warmth, and imagination
Bring consistency, clarity, and structure to a creative, values-driven project
The technical knowhow and platforms needed to bring a campaign like this to life.

"All the above would be magnificent- but I also want you to know that you could take on 'part of this Role'. Passion is key so If any of this ignites something in you - reach out and introduce yourself." Nikki Berridge

You don’t need to know menstrual health deeply - ALL genders Welcome! 
You DO need to care, communicate, organise, and be ready to create change.

Ready to help build something the world hasn’t seen before?
Please share a few lines on why this mission speaks to you and what capacity you have in the new year....

Best wishes,
The Howami team

Volunteer for a startup restoring land and empowering rural African communities ��

Rural Watch Africa Initiative (RUWAI) We restore degraded landscapes and empower rural communities with sustainable agriculture, beekeeping, and green livelihoods.

RUWAI tackles the urgent, interconnected challenges of deforestation, climate change vulnerability, and rural poverty in Africa. Many rural communities rely on unsustainable practices like slash-and-burn farming and illegal logging, leading to widespread land degradation, soil depletion, and increased desertification. This vulnerability, coupled with limited resources and high unemployment, forces many—especially youth and women—into destructive practices, worsening food insecurity and biodiversity loss, including the rapid decline of critical pollinators like bees.

RUWAI employs a holistic, community-driven solution focusing on Sustainable Agroforestry and Land Restoration through large-scale tree planting and Farmer-Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR). They promote Sustainable Beekeeping to protect pollinators and create an alternative income source, and train smallholder farmers in Climate-Smart Agriculture and regenerative techniques to boost food security. Furthermore, RUWAI focuses on Economic Empowerment by creating green livelihoods through agro-processing, eco-tourism, and microfinance, with a special focus on empowering women. By integrating these strategies, RUWAI restores ecosystems, builds climate resilience, and creates sustainable economic opportunities, ensuring that rural communities and nature can thrive together.

Resource Mobilization Manager

Rural Watch Africa Initiative (RUWAI) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering marginalized rural communities across Africa through sustainable agriculture, agroforestry, climate action, livelihood development, and ecosystem restoration. Our work focuses on reducing poverty, strengthening food security, restoring degraded lands, and building climate-resilient rural economies.
As we scale our impact, RUWAI seeks a passionate and results-driven Resource Mobilization and Partnership Expansion Specialist (Volunteer) to support fundraising, donor engagement, and strategic partnerships.

FabWoman
FabWoman, based in Nigeria, addresses the critical lack of female representation and the persistent knowledge gap in traditional media. Many women face limited access to educational and motivational resources tailored to their specific needs, which hinders their ability to make informed decisions regarding their careers, health, and personal development. Additionally, the digital age can often leave women feeling isolated, lacking a supportive network of like-minded peers to foster a sense of belonging and collective growth.

The solution is a holistic digital platform that leverages content creation and storytelling to empower female voices and promote gender equality. FabWoman provides high-quality, inspirational content that bridges the information gap in business, wellness, and leadership. Beyond media, the platform focuses on community engagement and advocacy campaigns, building a robust network that encourages connections among women. By combining technology with strategic brand partnerships, FabWoman creates a scalable ecosystem where women are educated, represented, and supported in every facet of their lives.

Volunteer-led East London Waterworks Park won a 2024 NLA award and raised £2m towards buying the 14-acre Thames Water Depot (Lea Bridge Road) to turn into a new biodiverse park with natural swimming, forest schools, and community spaces.

We are looking for user experience researchers to participate in our community-led working group who are growing support of the project. There is opportunity to lead on projects exploring how architects, ecologists, community researchers, political campaigners, fundraisers and communications professions come together to create community infrastructure.  Online meetings are every 4 weeks on a Tuesday evening on Google Meet with remote tasks. 

What are we looking for?

Strong experience in qualitative/quantitative user research, research plan design/execution, data analysis, and synthesizing actionable insights. 

Proven ability to build rapport and engage diverse communities. Excellent collaborative spirit for multidisciplinary teamwork.

Genuine passion for community-led projects, environmental sustainability, and inclusive urban development.

By leading research projects that explore how diverse professionals collaborate to shape community infrastructure, volunteers will directly contribute to the development of a park that reflects the needs and desires of the local community. Your input will help us craft experiences that inspire, educate, and engage, driving support for the park's mission and long-term sustainability.
