Looking for a volunteer management opportunity? The International Humanity Foundation needs your exp

The International Humanity Foundation (IHF) is seeking forward-thinking, dynamic graduates to contribute to our orphanage and education center in Kenya. IHF has grown over the past 25 years under the visionary leadership of Carol Sasaki (CEO) and the dedication of thousands of volunteers from around the world.

IHF is distinct from other NGO’s in this field as we practice the ‘Pass it on’ ethos in marginalized regions. We offer the privilege of education to those who without our organization could not reach it. IHF also has centers in Thailand and Indonesia and each center is a product of its environment and follows the cultural code and norms of its host country. IHF volunteers teach English, computer and math classes as well as maintaining relationships with local staff and the local population at every centre.
In addition to teaching, our organization’s volunteers engage in:

Public relations
Fundraising
Legal
Finance
Project experts (i.e., Peace farm and food relief initiatives)
Media

At the centers, directors divide their time between teaching and nurturing the children and working on international tasks. All directors manage one or more of our international task teams such as university relations, photography, fundraising and media. Special projects constantly arise and include moving food during famine feeds to monitoring children during breaks. Our center directors have a lot of say in what they do and must possess excellent time management skills.

Those who are secure without the comforts of home gain the most from this valuable opportunity. Although we are mainly seeking those with the above expertise, IHF is willing to consider those with transferrable skills if you can demonstrate them during our application process. Fluency in English, both written and spoken is essential. Those interested in volunteering at an IHF centre are required to complete a level of pre-trip duties in order to gain an understanding of how grassroots organizations function.

Salary / Pay: IHF is a voluntary organization in the greatest sense of the term. Nobody is paid a wage from top to bottom. Directors must commit to serve at least a year at the center. Accommodation and food is provided.

Please take the time to familiarize yourself further with our organization. If you have any questions at this time, feel free to e-mail one of our helpful volunteers.

PLEASE NOTE: Currently we are only accepting applicants from East Africa for this position due to current work permit regulations. If you are not from this region and would like more information about volunteering with IHF Kenya please don’t hesitate to contact us at the email address above.
