1 - NEW: Volunteer for the Arabic Website Team

We here at MPH are looking to set up a great team of volunteers to keep the MPH-Emirates website constantly updated…but not just in English. So if you think you have the ability to translate fluently between English & Arabic, maybe test your journalistic skills or just volunteering your time towards spreading awareness about extreme poverty and its related causes then send me your details/resume here.

We understand that you work long hard days in school/office…that is why we do not require you to leave your house if you decide to volunteer for this task. Our award winning website has and extremely simple access system, that will take you five minutes to learn, how to use and then your set.

We’re also looking for volunteers for the campaign as a whole. Click here to find out more!
