Morobe Development Foundation is seeking the assistance of three Online Volunteers to assist MDF in Papua New Guinea by conducting donor research for community development initiatives that aim to improve the standard of living in Papua New Guinea's rural communities.
MDF is engaged in a variety of community development initiatives, including waste management, water supply, and climate change and awareness campaigns, to mention a few. This aligns with the eleventh United Nations Sustainable Development Goal, which aims to promote the development of sustainable communities.
To accomplish that, the participation of Online Volunteers in this assignment would aid MDF in realizing its mission and vision, which are to resolve the Sustainable Development Goals challenges and foster rural community development in Papua New Guinea.
MDF requires the support of Online Volunteers to carry out donor research online using various social media platforms and websites to identify potential donors to fund MDF community development projects in Papua New Guinea. The Online Volunteers will communicate with the focal person of MDF virtually to ensure the task is carried out diligently, and the Online Volunteers will receive a certificate accordingly after the completion of the task.
We currently need three Online Volunteers: 1. Two Online Volunteers to support in writing a proposal and explain the method for MDF to attract potential donors. 2. One Online Volunteer to collect online information and make a list of funding programmes open to international NGOs around the world so as to lay the foundation for MDF to attract development funds and implement projects in the future.
IMPORTANT The Online Volunteers engaged in this assignment will not be asked or requested to solicit donations or funds from third parties.
Candidates must have skills and experience in: - Communications and Development - Project management
PhD students are encouraged to apply.
