Role Overview:

We are excited to announce that the cost of the container shipment from Port A in France to Port B in East Africa, totaling over 14,000 euros, has already been fully secured through the support of our partners. We are now seeking a strategic and motivated remote volunteer to help raise the remaining 13,000 euros needed to cover customs clearance, warehousing, insurance, and other critical charges, ensuring the container reaches children and youth in East Africa.

• Lead efforts to raise the 13,000-euro target to complete the shipment
• Develop strategic and creative approaches to engage donors and mobilize resources
• Track fundraising progress and ensure the goal is achieved by the end of August
• Collaborate with the team while independently managing assigned responsibilities

Candidate Profile:

• Self-motivated, proactive, and results-driven
• Strategic thinker with creative fundraising skills
• Comfortable leading initiatives independently while following guidance from the team
• Experience in nonprofit fundraising or community development is preferred but not required

Openness to Newcomers:

Applicants without prior experience are welcome. We encourage volunteers to bring fresh ideas, take on challenges, and build skills while contributing to a cause that changes lives.

• Collaboration with a dynamic international NGO team
• Certificate of recognition upon successful completion of the fundraising campaign
