Songea’s, an all-volunteer Sammamish, WA based 501©3, works with two Tanzania NGOs to provide basic needs and education to vulnerable children in underserved villages in southern Tanzania, East Africa. We also meet urgent needs identified by impoverished villagers including drilling their first clean water wells, constructing infrastructure, and in Lutukira Village building a comprehensive Health Center and their first Vocational Classroom. USA architects and engineers provide pro bono design expertise and mentoring so paid village workers learn new skills and appropriate technology on the job as they build. Learn about our mission and accomplishments at www.songeaskids.org.
Our success depends on skilled, dedicated volunteers. Members of our volunteer teams experience great satisfaction as their dedication lifts up entire villages and opens the path to a successful future for orphaned and vulnerable children. The volunteer grant writer will receive from the volunteer grant researcher detailed information about agencies and organizations likely to fund our priority projects in Africa. The grant writer will draft grant proposals working with the President. Previous grant writing experience is preferred. We seek a minimum commitment of one year and a person with excellent writing skills. The writer will maintain a grant tracking system so deadlines for proposal submission and reports are met. This is a VIRTUAL opportunity where the person works from their own home and communicates online.
