Francesca di PaoloMarch 2026

Italian & Marketing Teacher

Volunteering with UCESCO means becoming part of a larger vision — one that believes in human potential and works every day to create lasting change. It is an experience that leaves a mark, not only on those who receive, but also on those who give.UCESCO Africa is a committed, grassroots organization working daily to support vulnerable children and women through education, training, and concrete aid. Its projects reach deep into underserved communities, offering not just help, but real opportunities for growth and dignity. Thanks to my friends and family we were able to provide desks, chairs, food in Samburu, and scholarships. In Nairobi, at the Peggy Lucas School, uniforms and meals were distributed with the support of the Dynastic Orders of the Royal House of Savoy. At the Masayo Visionary & Empowerment Training Institute (M.V.E.T.I), young women from the slum are offered vocational training in beauty and wellness. Recently, a fully equipped training room was opened and new uniforms were provided, enabling students to learn in a safe and professional environment. I also introduced new courses in italian and in marketing, communication, and fundraising. I met lovely people and I still have all their loughs and smiles with me. My homestay at Kingsley's place was fantastic. I felt at home since the first days. Thanks everybody for all the love you gave to me, my life changed after all we shared and exchanged. Asante!
