The global impact of volunteering cannot be overemphasized. As human beings, we are meant to depend on each other for survival, and volunteering is one way we can watch each other's back. Volunteer Recognition Day is celebrated to honour and respect all volunteers around the world who are helping others without expecting anything in return. There are over 1 billion volunteers worldwide. The efforts of volunteers worldwide are equal to 109 million full-time workers. 70% of volunteer work does not involve any organization but happens informally between people in their communities. 59% of informal volunteering around the world is done by women.
