Support SODEIT in Mobilizing Resources

Contract

This is a UNV contract. More about UNV contracts.

SODEIT Global Support Centre was established in April 2020 in response to Covid-19, Anglophobia Crisis and the ongoing local challenges to vulnerable communities in Cameroon. The support Centre was launched with over 400 United Nations online volunteers who came together with one mission – to safeguard the vulnerable communities in Cameroon. The Support Centre operates virtually and is divided into 18 teams led by 30 team leaders from across the world who dedicate over 30 hours per week to this humanitarian aid. Each team member uses the skills learnt so far in life to build a safer, healthier and more caring living environment with the other team members who they have not met before and for the people who they do not know so well. However, all of them have a common purpose and no matter how difficult the challenges may be, they are pursuing their best endeavours to change for good. The change has started in April and will be continuing with our global virtual support Centre, a rather new concept we are implementing around the world. We welcome you to join and support us as one of us.
