IHF Co-Director

If you’re looking for a long-term volunteering opportunity, the International Humanity Foundation is offering you the chance to help in our children’s home.

IHF is looking for hard-working, committed volunteers to help in our children’s home in Kenya. IHF provides education, and in some cases, homes, to children in need in six centers across Indonesia, Thailand and Kenya. IHF has no central headquarters; each center is a product of its environment and follows the cultural code and norms of its host country.

Our Kenya center is a children’s home and also provides emergency relief to the surrounding community. This is the biggest IHF center, with approximately 100 kids. The kids are from the marginalised Pokot tribe, whose conditions are amongst the worse in Kenya. Living conditions in this region are harsh, and we provide basic needs such as a home, food, and access to education to children who would otherwise go without. We also run livestock donation projects and other initiatives to relieve the extreme poverty where we can.

At the center, you will divide your time between caring for the children and working on international tasks. IHF is a grassroots, all-volunteer organisation with no central office, so all administration work is done in center. All volunteers manage one or more of our international task teams such as university relations, fundraising and media; working together online with volunteers in other centers. You will be assigned according to your experience. You must possess excellent time management skills.

Those who are secure without the comforts of home gain the most from this valuable opportunity. We are looking for applicants preferably with:
- A related university degree; eg. in social studies, language, teaching, medicine, law, social work
- Experience abroad; travel, working or volunteering
- 1-2 years working experience in any field
- Experience with teaching and/or children
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 our organization functions.

Stipend: Volunteers must commit to serve at least a year at the center. Basic accommodation and food is provided by IHF. You are a volunteer at the center, and all local tasks
completed are done so without pay. Volunteers who commit to serving one year or more will receive a small monthly stipend. It is broken down as follow:-

First 3 months: Training period - $20 per month

3-6 months: Assistant co-Director - $50 per month

6-9 months: Co-Director - $80 per month

9-12 months: Co-Director - $100 per month

This stipend results only from the international online work; not from any local tasks.

After one year there is the opportunity to become a full Director.

Strict IHF Policy: These stipends are fixed. They will not be raised for more experienced applicants, and everyone will be upgraded according to the timeframes outlined above, and no sooner. There are no exceptions to this, regardless of what may be the situation in the centre. We are an all-Volunteer organization and training and hands-on experience is paramount.

Please take the time to familiarize yourself further with our organization -www.ihfonline.org. And to our blog http://ihfblog.wordpress.com/home/.

Looking for a volunteer management opportunity? The International Humanity Foundation needs your expertise and vigour to direct our orphanage!

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.

Stipend: Directors must commit to serve at least a year at the center. Basic accommodation and food is provided by IHF. Directors who commit to serving one year or more will receive a small monthly stipend. This is broken down as follow:- First 3 months: Training period. $20 per month

3-6 months. Assistant director. $50 per month

6-9 month. Co-Director. $80 per month

9-12months. Co-Director. $100 per month

After one year there is the opportunity to be come a full Director. The stipend starts at $100-$150 per month depending on performance. There is the possibility of becoming Executive director if the CEO and other Executive directors approve.

The $150 stipend raises to $500 per month and becomes a salary rather than stipend, and can raise further depending on length of time with us and role in Organization and IHF funding levels.

Strict IHF policy : IHF does not hire non-IHF trained , non IHF experienced from outside who do not have at center hands on true experience first, going through the above training, regardless of any other expertise they may have. We have found it impossible to be effective without IHF training and experience learning about the many tribes, cultures and laws affecting us daily as well as our own policies to best meet the many needs. To date we are an all Volunteer organization and if at any point in the Future it should change: this Policy is still in effect fully. Training and hands on experience is paramount.
