Contract

This is a UNV contract. More about UNV contracts.

UVS is working in the Vidarbha region of India, where every eight hours, one farmer has committed suicide since 2006. Our organisation's project, 'Psychiatric Rehabilitation of Farmers', is dedicated to addressing this issue. Through this project, we are giving doorstep services of mental health to the beneficiaries through early identification and detection of mental illness. To do this, we can use the PHQ-12 questionnaire (a tool to detect mental illness disorders) available on the website that our organisation's employees and beneficiaries may use. The mentally ill patients thus identified will be given free treatment in the Civil Hospital for free.

Reaching out to the masses, bringing ease and convenience in the identification of vulnerable beneficiaries, and achieving sustainability of the project are some of the challenges we are confronting, which may be better addressed through a better website. The contribution of Online Volunteers in website development will help us to develop a comprehensive website dedicated to mental health that will help the masses to preliminarily know their mental illness, get helpline contacts of entities working in mental health and get aware of various mental health services and related updates. This will extend the organisation’s reach to the beneficiaries and stakeholders.

The selected Online Volunteers will get an opportunity to utilise their expertise and skill set to see the on-ground impact of their contribution, which contributes to SDG3 on Good Health and Well-being.

Our organisation is working on a mental health thematic area, and we are developing a dedicated website for this area.

The selected Online Volunteers are expected to prepare the webpages on the following content: 1) Methodologies to detect the mental illness of beneficiaries. 2) From the extracted content, prepare the web pages dedicated to mental health resources, solutions, and supports. 3) Creating web pages on various mental health helplines available to rescue patients at various locations.

We already have the website contents, structure and design ready so that Online Volunteers can directly start supporting in carrying the above mentioned tasks. Our team may provide complete guidelines about what has to be done and what areas Online Volunteers need to enhance on.

Based on the task assigned, candidates should ideally have the following skills: - Good knowledge of JavaScript development and Node JS frameworks as well as HTML5 & CSS3. Knowledge of Microsoft Azure is added advantage; - WordPress Administration and Optimisation (Tuning); - Highly experienced with creating WordPress landing pages using Gutenberg Editor (WordPress Block Editor) as well as Elementor; - Knowledge of WordPress plugin development with PHP and/or MySQL is a plus.
