In the Eastern Uganda Bududa District, Bukibokolo people have been faced with a huge orphan problem due to a widespread HIV/AIDS epidemic, Malaria, Land slidehttp://www.independent.co.ug/index.php/cover-story/cover-story/82-cover-story/2605-bududa , and Poverty. In addition, malnutrition is a big problem. Hundreds of children are now without parents, and they’re roaming the streets with no access to food, Basic necessities or education. Naturally, before we could even think about getting these children an education, we needed to take a step back in hopes of solving a variety of problems and supporting the community for the long haul. Therefore, RUFG has teamed up with local community to come up with the solution of helping to provide for the needs of these children.
Randa United Farmers Group centres on a number of areas in the field of Rural and Community Development including:
• Community Education Services
• Needle/Vulnerable/Orphans
• Health and Sanitation
• Biodiversity Conservation
• Sustainable Organic Farming
RUFG works with different categories of people ranging from orphans, widows, HIV/AIDS Positive patients, youths, women and all those in disadvantaged positions/conditions within the community.
In the recent past, RUFG has implemented a number of Community Development projects, carrying out several activities including;
• Establishment of a Community Library
• Orphanage School
• Establishment of Community Nursery Beds
• Environmental Education Programme
• Community Tree Planting Programme
This is therefore we are looking two Volunteers, one to work as Teacher and other to work as Development Officer, the development Officer/Fundraising Officer, will carry out the following duties
• To research, prepare proposals and follow up on new sources of project funding working in close coordination with the relevant RUFG staff;
• To foster existing and future donor relations by making sure that grantors are acknowledged and kept regularly informed of RUFG’ work and managing deadlines relating to the submission of applications and reporting obligations;
• To actively pursue non-project sources of funding (such as individual supporters, major donors, sporting and other events and through greater use of internet fundraising techniques);
• To organize periodic events aimed at generating support for the organization.
They have to be willing to stay in the village setting life, Accommodation is RUFG’s responsibility.
