About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Fambidzanai Permaculture Centre works towards achieving food secure Zimbabwe that depends on sustainable land-based food systems (permaculture). Activities thrive on skills training in sustainable agriculture methodologies. Trainings are supplemented by practical demonstrations illuminating the ecological and economy viability of permaculture. Creating enhancing and facilitating market opportunities for farmers produce remains a key mandate. FPC also focuses on climate justice and leadership with the primary objective of community development through training, awareness raising and advocacy.

💼 What the programme involves

The organisation is failing to take care of the ever-increasing number of people in need of help, hence the dire need of a Resources Mobilization officer. The Resource Mobilization Officer will contribute to Fambidzanai work through research/documentation, social media, monitoring and evaluation and resource mobilization. The ideal candidate will be specially involved in identifying and responding to opportunities for funding. Volunteers will also be involved in capacity and training programmes with a strong bias to agroecology and permaculture.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will be accommodated at the Centre. Rooms are available to individual volunteers. Volunteers with special needs like seniors/ aged, families and physically challenged will have special arrangements for their accommodation. Food: Basic meals will be provided from what is locally available in the local community. Volunteers are therefore advised to be flexible and open-minded. This will make it easy for them to negotiate their entry into the community.
