🏢 About the local organisation
CIVS works for the upliftment of the poor and the disadvantaged communities in Kenya and mainly focusing in Western Kenya by increasing their access to resources and skills in a sustainable manner. CIVS is a development agency that works through volunteers. Rather than sending instant relief in the form of food or money, CIVS sends people to share their skills and experience with local communities. CIVS provides innovative and competent support to needy communities and organizations aimed at stimulating local development initiatives especially among the disadvantaged; as well as developing harmonious relations among people of different backgrounds and cultures. This is achieved by boosting the people's pride, dignity and self-confidence. The organization is currently seeking to appoint a Fundraising Officer
