Be the Change – Kenya
 
Job Position: Part Time Accountant / Bookkeeper

Starting Date: Sept. 1, 2012, potential for future fulltime employment

Compensation: Negotiable, depending on experience.

Executive Summary of BTCKE

Be the Change – Kenya (BTKE) works towards the eradication of child poverty by strengthening the capacity of local leaders and local organizations. 

We work alongside the Kenyan community to build relationships, mobilize local resources and create sustainable solutions for children living in poverty in Kenya.
 Our strategy permeates multiple levels of the local community. We develop the capacity of local organizations by forming two-year partnerships with local organizations that provide direct aid to children living in poverty. Partners participate in a multi faceted management-training program that includes a collaborative management-training program, executive mentorship and access to a network of pro-bono advising services.
We understand that individual organizations alone cannot change a community; therefore we enlist Young Adult leaders to advocate for local support of our Partner Organizations. Young Adults are trained in Leadership and Organizing Material developed by a network of resources including the Marshall Ganz of the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University, the Greensboro School of Servant Leadership and Episcopal Service Corps. Young Adult graduates from Be the Change – Kenya (hereafter referred to as BTCKE) form teams that recruit donors, volunteers, resources, corporate sponsorship, clinical services and more for our Partner Organizations.
Our training programs not only develop capacity, they awaken directors, Young Adults and members of the local community to a renewed sense of power and agency. Furthermore, BTCKE bridges a formally divided community into partners, working together for long-term change.  This long-term change must include the support of the Kenyan Government. To this end, BTCKE intends for this cohort of leaders to become active advocates and proponents of policy reform that supports children living in poverty.
In all our endeavors we maintain our core ideals: interdependent community, sustainable and scalable impact, human capacity and holistic wellbeing.
