Orphanage Director- Job in Kenya
The International Humanity Foundation is looking for directors to manage our orphanage in Nakuru, Kenya and be friends and teachers to our children.
By bringing together disadvantaged children of Kenya and volunteers from across the world, there is a learning opportunity for both.
As both sides discover more about each other, their lives and their cultures and go on to teach their own friends what they learned in this exchange, we hope to create a world of greater understanding and compassion.
Our centre in Kenya also has a close relationship with the Pokot tribe and goes on regular famine feeds to support it.
Work
IHF needs people with all skills. No matter your experience, whether a student or retired professional, IHF needs you.
At the centre, volunteers divide their time between playing with and teaching the children and working on international tasks. The centre host English, computer and math classes, and the children often seek tutoring for their homework, all tasks which volunteers take part in.
All directors lead on one or more of our international task teams such as university relations, photography and child watch.
To qualify to work at a centre, volunteers must complete twenty hours of work on one of the teams, and they continue to participate on the team once at the centre. In the rare case where you lack the ability to complete these hours but possess certain trade skills in agriculture, construction or others needed at one of our centres, you may be exempt from these pre-trip hours.
If this is the case, be sure to immediately get in contact with the centre director to discuss your situation and possible alternative tasks.
It is important to note that IHF strictly requires its directors to work eight hours a day (four hours at the center and four hours online), six days a week. If this work is not completed, you will be dismissed from your position.
As an entirely volunteer-run organization, IHF depends upon its members to contribute to the day-to-day operations, both locally and internationally. Without these daily hours, IHF would cease to function, so directors must be deliberate in their use of time.
This is not a vacation. Directors are expected to work hard.
Cost: Except for the initial transport to the center, directors are not responsible for any costs.
Salary / Pay: Directors must commit to serve at least a year at the center. For the first three months, they are paid a living stipend of USD $120. At the end of this training period, the monthly stipend increases to USD $160.
Directors are expected to work eight hours a day, six days a week, and have one long weekend every month. Additionally, directors are provided with a simple, private room, often furnished with only a bed, at the center and have the opportunity to eat all of their meals at the center with the children. Directors are responsible for paying for any special treats or outside meals they might wish to buy.
Admittedly, this is little pay for demanding work, but IHF is only looking for those who genuinely want to help children and who seek no financial benefit for themselves. This low stipend also assures that the greatest amount of money goes toward the children, the most important part of IHF.
Volunteer Type: Building schools, community development, childcare/children, culture, curriculum planning, disability issues, economic development education, English teaching, health, health care, health education, homelessness, hospital, housing, human rights, literacy, marketing, medicine, nutrition, orphans, popular education, primary education, street kids, teaching, women, water, writing, youth, youth development, academic reinforcement, AIDS/HIV, appropriate technology
Typical Volunteer: Our volunteers have a passion for immersion in foreign cultures, an openness to new experiences and a flexible approach to work. At our centres they work with local staff and directly with the local population in conditions very different from the Western world. 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 as long as it is approved by the president and follows the mission of IHF.
Available To Participants: World wide
Typical Living Arrangement: Group living
Participants Travel: Independently
Typically Participants Work: Independently or in groups, depending on site
Application Requires: Resume, written application
Qualifications:
Volunteers with IHF must speak English fluently and have a great attitude. They must also be mature, responsible, team players, fast learners, flexible and interested in global change through education and service.
Most importantly, our volunteers must have an open heart and a willingness to help others and make a difference!
Mission Statement: IHF focuses on educating and feeding children who come from the most marginalized and disadvantaged backgrounds. IHF has set up orphanages in Kenya, Indonesia and Thailand. We seek to provide a way for children to get an education that they desperately desire and are not able to receive. By educating and teaching these children that they are significant and competent, we also teach them that everyone has a voice that matters.
IHF promotes self-sufficiency in the communities we work in, primarily focusing on the education, nutrition, and care of children. IHF encourages understanding and caring between people of all nations and religions in order to better prepare the leaders of future generations. We believe that by promoting communication and understanding between students from the poorest of the poor and students in America, we will all be better educated by this exchange.
We desire for every student in the United States to have communication with students abroad who are different both culturally and socioeconomically, in order for all students to be educated about the world they live in.

Bridge International Academies School Operations Officer Job in Kenya
Brief Description
We are seeking a full-time School Operations Officer, who will help support and monitor the operations of a group of schools within our network.
Description
About Bridge International Academies
Bridge International Academies is a startup revolutionizing education across Africa with a truly unique business model. The company has launched a large-scale franchise-like network of ultra low-cost for-profit private primary schools across Africa. Our schools profitably deliver high-quality education for less than $4 per child per month, enabling local school managers to operate their school businesses profitably, while creating a highly successful business at the central level.
We have already launched the first 12 schools in our network in the slums of Nairobi with tremendous success, and plan to rapidly scale the company to serve more than 1 million families in Africa.
About this position
We are seeking a full-time School Operations Officer, who will help support and monitor the operations of a group of schools within our network.
Bridge International has developed extensive systems and tools for its operations that allow someone we hire from the local community to easily and successfully open and manage the operations of a school – we call this our “School in Box” model. Most of the systems and tools we developed are low-tech and paper-based because of the environment in which we work. It starts with our very detailed Operators Manual and spans across all instructional, financial, operations and human resource management issues and systems.
School Operations Officers work with a group of our schools (both the school managers and the teachers in those schools) to ensure that the management and monitoring systems and tools that are part of our “School in a Box” are effectively implemented at individual schools both by school managers and teachers. School Operations Officers are also instrumental in supporting the initial training of new School Managers. This position is also critical in providing feedback to the central headquarters as to ways to improve upon these systems.
School Operations Officers focus on all of the elements of the operations at the school site.
These include:
* Marketing & Recruiting New Students
* Student Payment Systems
* Monitoring instructional delivery by teachers (using guidelines and rubrics from our instruction team)
* Personnel Management
* Rules & Procedures
* Facilities Management
* And more
This is a very hands-on job, with School Operations Officers in the field (in our case, the slums of Nairobi) working with schools about 80% of the time.
About You
* You are a very process or systems-oriented person.
* You have experience implementing detailed systems, processes and rules in the field
* You have experience managing and helping grow one or more small businesses in challenging environments.
* You have proven that you are capable of motivating, supervising and supporting other managers, being supportive or tough when the situation is appropriate.
* You have successfully mentored individuals over a long period of time
* Experience in working in very poor communities (slums) is a real plus
* You are not afraid of getting your hands dirty
* You have experience managing projects with many moving pieces, and building and managing teams of people
* You function well in a fast-paced informal environment where constant change is the norm and the bar for quality is set high.
* You are comfortable with numbers and using rubrics.
* Bachelors degree
Our team has a passionate belief that basic primary education is critical to the development of every child, family, community and nation. We believe that it is possible to address this critical need for poor families through new and innovative approaches leveraging the private sector, and that by providing low-cost but high-quality primary education, we will give millions of children the opportunity to accomplish their dreams. We are looking for someone who wants to join us in this rewarding task.
Requirements/Skills:
* 3-5 years experience in operations, management, education or related experience
* Franchise or chain management experience in Kenya is a real plus
* Driven, disciplined, self-motivated, and entrepreneurial
* Excellent verbal and written communication skills
* Must be a team player and open to new approaches and ideas
* Strong project management skills
* Ability to organize, prioritize, and manage multiple tasks
* Basic computer and web skills
