Social Impact Project for ICT or Media Expert to Mentor and Develop Curriculum

Project Description and Impact

We are a non-profit organisation enabling young adults in impoverished rural areas of Eastern Africa to work and to live a life full of opportunity while remaining in their home area. The students are equipped with IT and media skills and are then encouraged to become entrepreneurs. Through selling digital services online they become self-sustaining and can even employ new cohorts of trainees. In 2015 we started off in Turkana county, North Kenya, where traditional sources of income are extremely limited due to infertile soil and poor infrastructure.

We are looking for professional volunteers who can spend between two and four months in one of the most remote areas of East‐Africa mentoring a team of young adults on their way to become entrepreneurs on the global digital market. Build up a relationship with bright African minds, and enable them to have a successful career, without having to leave their home region. It will be a live‐changing experience, for you and for our students!
