Grant research and writer for African rural education initiative.
Ongoing
We are an NGO registered in Kenya, Canada, and the US that provides turnkey digital learning systems to schools in rural Kenya and Eastern Africa. We have been in operation for 8+ years, with over 80 schools in place, with a well-documented impact on school and student performance. We are in the process of expanding our coverage and need to find quality sources of grant funding to enable our growth. This role involves researching potential funders worldwide and submitting grant requests when appropriate. The position calls for a person skilled and meticulous in using online resources to conduct comprehensive research, evaluate results, and present suggestions. It also requires an individual with exceptional writing abilities who can develop, refine, and submit top-notch grant proposals for the organization. Work can be done remotely on whatever schedule the candidate desires. We have an engaged team in all three locations that will assist whenever needed.

Why should you volunteer for this opportunity?
This person can join a growing organization that is providing enormous benefits to children in rural schools in Kenya. We have a reputation for improving rural schools' ability to compete with better funded urban and private schools. Your participation could make a big difference in our ability to continue to support the existing schools, and to expand our footprint to more schools in the region. It might also be a chance to visit Kenya in the future - we visit every year for several weeks.
