We are seeking a Coordinator for our office in Sierra Leone!
Village Hope, Inc., a recently-formed NGO working in 39 rural villages near Lunsar, Sierra Leone, seeks a Coordinator to work for 6-12 months in-country.
Our program includes building latrines, wells, and schools; a small microfinance program; matching grants for community projects; and several other activities. We have an office, vehicles, three other employees, and numerous advisors.
The Coordinator will expand the current activities, initiate a program of agricultural assistance, and help us explore ways to use the internet for training and economic development. In all activities, the goal will be developing an approach that can be widely used.
The Coordinator will accomplish much of the work by hiring and supervising local assistance not by personally doing the work. Extensive support, including periodic visits from our staff in the US, will be provided.
Funds for travel (one round trip), lodging, food, and a small amount for other expenses will be provided. Send a brief (<300 word) inquiry to vhopepositions@gmail.com; we will contact you if we wish additional information.
Announcement closes July 19.
