The Vodafone Foundation's World of Difference 2012

Vodafone Foundation world of difference

The Vodafone Foundation's World of Difference program funds individuals to work for a Charity of their choice for a year. We believe in the power of the individual, therefore support our participants through funding and professional development to ensure they make the biggest impact in one year.

Applications for our 2012 Program are now closed, but you can still be involved. Let us know on our Facebook page which project you think will make a World of Difference in 2012. You will be able to vote for one of our three short listed candidates to help us decide who will receive the chance to work for the charity of their choice in our 2012 program.

Take a moment to hear from each candidate about their unique and inspiring project. Then cast your vote on Facebook.
