Africa Access Water

We equip rural communities in Zambia and Africa with solar-powered water infrastructure and systems for productive use, food security, and socio-economic development.

Africa Access Water is committed to addressing several critical social and environmental challenges that disproportionately affect rural communities across Zambia and Africa using one model. These challenges include:

1. Water Scarcity: Millions of people in rural Africa, particularly in Zambia, face limited access to clean, reliable water sources. This scarcity forces communities to rely on unsafe water, leading to waterborne diseases, poor health outcomes, and time-consuming water collection that limits productivity and social development. Africa Access Water aims to provide sustainable, solar-powered water infrastructure that ensures year-round access to clean drinking water, improving health and overall well-being.

2. Food Insecurity: Agricultural productivity in rural areas is often hampered by unreliable access to water, droughts and dependent on rainfed, leading to poor crop yields and seasonal food shortages. With our solar-powered irrigation systems, we aim to enable year-round farming, increasing food security and supporting local economies. By providing communities with access to water for agricultural use, we help increase crop yields, promote sustainable farming practices, and ensure a consistent food supply for families.

3. Rural Poverty: Rural communities in Zambia and other parts of Africa face high levels of poverty of upto 82%, often exacerbated by the lack of infrastructure and economic opportunities. By providing solar-powered water solutions, we empower communities to develop productive livelihoods, enhance economic activity through agricultural systems, and create income-generating opportunities. Our goal is to foster socio-economic development by providing water for both domestic use and agricultural production, which boosts local economies and supports small-scale farmers.

4. Environmental Sustainability: Traditional water extraction methods, such as manual pumping or reliance on non-renewable energy sources, can contribute to environmental degradation and resource depletion. Africa Access Water addresses this by using solar-powered water systems, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and supporting the transition to clean, renewable energy. Additionally, we promote sustainable agricultural practices that improve land productivity while protecting the environment.

5. Gender Inequality and Social Inclusion: In many rural communities, women and girls are responsible for fetching water, often spending several hours each day on this task. This reduces their opportunities for education, economic participation, and personal development. By providing communities with accessible water infrastructure, Africa Access Water aims to reduce the time spent on water collection, allowing women and girls more time for education, work, and community leadership. Our projects also prioritize community involvement, ensuring that marginalized groups, including women and youth, have a voice in decision-making processes.

Through these efforts, Africa Access Water is addressing the social and environmental challenges of water scarcity, food insecurity, rural poverty, environmental degradation, and gender inequality, creating sustainable solutions that foster community development and resilience.

Africa Access Water was founded to address the critical issues of rural poverty, food insecurity, and limited access to water infrastructure that stifles economic growth in Africa’s underserved communities. By leveraging sustainable water solutions such as solar powered water infrastructure and systems, we aim to transform poor community communal land into productive hubs that drive rural economies. Our innovative model integrates solar powered water infrastructure development with agricultural systems, enabling year-round food production and income generation. This is evident from our pilot project in Zambia.

We prioritize community ownership, ensuring local engagement in the planning, implementation, and management of water resources. By utilizing climate-smart irrigation technologies, we not only boost crop yields but also mitigate the effects of erratic rainfall and droughts- we say climate change. This approach fosters food security, promotes self-reliance, and stimulates micro-enterprise development.

Africa Access Water stands out by creating sustainable ecosystems that transform rural communities into thriving economies while addressing the root causes of poverty.

Using your expertise and skills, you will be able to influence how we care for our animals and drive forward the implementation of our key initiatives.

About the RSPCA

Founded in 1824, the RSPCA have been saving animals for almost 200 years and are proud to be the oldest welfare charity around. It has always been the RSPCA vision to live in a world where all animals are respected and treated with compassion, so our volunteers and employees work tirelessly to ensure that all animals can live free from pain and suffering.

Through numerous campaigns, the RSPCA seek to raise standards of care, and awareness of issues, affecting animals today. The RSPCA rely heavily on volunteers who play a significant role in enabling the Society to carry out this important animal welfare work every day.

The RSPCA Crewe, Nantwich and District Branch

The RSPCA Crewe, Nantwich and District Branch is one of the branches of RSPCA, but we are also a separately registered charity looking after animals in our local area. Much of the animal welfare work of RSPCA is carried out through local branches, which is run by volunteers who have the support of the national Society of RSPCA.

The main activity of the branch is to rehabilitate and care for homeless dogs, cats and rabbits that come to us via the nationally operated RSPCA Inspectors and from the public, until we can find them loving, new homes. The branch does not have an animal or an admin centre. We house our animals with fosterers and in private boarding. While rehoming is the main activity of the branch, we also offer limited financial help to pet owners on means-tested benefits who are struggling to pay for neutering or some vet treatments.

•  Aged 18 or over.
• You must have been a member of the RSPCA and our branch for three months before you are eligible to be elected.
• You must meet the requirements of the Branch Trustee role. Please see the separate role description.
•  You will need to be able to work well with people and have good interpersonal skills. You do not need to be an expert, although commitment, common sense, and the ability to be objective are vital.
•  Good communication and networking skills.
•  Good IT skills are necessary as branch communication is primarily by email, documents need to be typed and saved electronically, and we operate a Google-based filing system. Ability to deal with general public, local businesses and other relevant organisations.

• Sufficient time to give to this important role. As a minimum, you will be expected to attend the monthly committee meeting (usually face-to-face on a weekday evening, lasting 2 – 3 hours) to discuss the governance and management of the branch and its activities.

•  Branch officers are elected for a 12-month term each year.
• The Branch Secretary role requires a serious commitment of time and energy.

Reasonable expenses will be reimbursed. This role can mostly be done from home, but we would like in-person attendance at our 6 weekly trustee meeting which currently takes place on a Thursday evening.

Our voluntary roles are subject to an informal interview and trial period. We will ask you to provide contact details for two referees, and dependent on the position, you may need to sign an agreement and undergo specific training before starting the role.

Wheels for Wellbeing – Removing Barriers to Cycling

Wheels for Wellbeing is an organisation focused on cycling and disability, run by individuals with disabilities. Founded on the idea that cycling can greatly enhance health, transportation, and social inclusion, the organisation advocates for mobility justice and equity. For the past eighteen years, our charity has aimed to transform the landscape of active travel by eliminating obstacles that prevent disabled individuals from cycling.

In addition to hosting cycling sessions for disabled participants at three locations in South London, Wheels for Wellbeing is also working to improve cycling infrastructure. The team is actively involved in reshaping cycling design standards not just in London, but throughout the UK and in cities worldwide.

As our expertise gained recognition, we expanded our offerings to include training and consultancy services. This aspect of our work is on the rise, and one of our strategic goals is to significantly develop it further under the banner of Wheels for Learning, alongside our other two initiatives.

We have a diverse range of funding sources, including grants from Trusts and Foundations, income we generate ourselves, and contributions from individuals and corporations.

Effectively managing our fundraising efforts is essential for our success in raising funds and providing transparent reports – the Volunteer Salesforce Developer position will play a vital role in supporting these initiatives.

About this position

Wheels for Wellbeing is fortunate to have the help of over 10 volunteers who assist in delivering our sessions. Occasionally, we also provide opportunities for those volunteers who wish to contribute with their specialised skills to enhance our operational efforts.

By getting involved you will gain:

• We will give you space to develop your work, gain experience and use your creativity.
• Take the lead on our Salesforce Implementation.
• As you will be leading the implementation of our Salesforce it is also an opportunity to add to your portfolio.
• Try out some new strategies and get feedback from the team on your work.
• Become part of a friendly, enthusiastic and varied team.
• This is an amazing chance for professionals eager to apply their talents in ways that address our community's needs and contribute to reducing inequality. If you're interested in using your skills to support a charitable cause, this opportunity could be perfect for you.

Do you align with our mission & values and wish to contribute to our Salesforce Implementation Project?  Take a look at the essential requirements for this post:

What do you need to become our Salesforce Developer?

Essential:

• A Salesforce Developer Qualification
• 3+ years of previous development experience with Salesforce.
• Proved experience with NPSP 2+ years. (Unfortunately, we won’t accept applications from volunteers who are not experienced with the NPSP version of Salesforce – NPSP – not Nonprofit Cloud)
• 2 professional references from previous Salesforce development work which we can contact (before an offer is made).
• Strong understanding of Salesforce best practices.
• Highly skilled in developing dashboards for various reporting styles.
• Experience using Salesforce for Fundraising.
• Strong understanding of relational databases.
• Proven success with multiple Salesforce. com integration projects.
• Experience developing customer-facing interfaces.
• Understanding of the complete agile software development cycle, good processes and tools required to achieve great results.
• Able to work in a team, custom the environment for the Team’s needs and produce quality output.
• Strong attention to detail and excellent problem-solving skills.
• Strong verbal/written communication and data presentation skills, including an ability to effectively communicate with the team.

Desirable:

• Knowledge of fundraising structure.

 Location:

Can be performed fully remotely, but you are welcome to visit and work with the Team from our office in Brixton, London.

Commitment:

You will be involved in the implementation and development of our NPSP platform in collaboration with our Central Operations Manager, who possesses some experience in Salesforce administration and will oversee the SF Project. As we have not commenced any work on the platform, the individual will engage with the initial setup and guide it through to completion.

We seek an individual who can commit their time to this project from inception to completion. Therefore, we kindly request that only those with sufficient availability to see the project through to its conclusion apply, as we prefer not to change developers during the implementation phase.

Additionally, it is crucial that the selected candidate is able to dedicate time to provide the team with brief training sessions following deployment. This will ensure that all team members comprehend the platform's functionality and are able to accurately input the necessary data.

Our objective is to utilise the platform for fundraising initiatives and marketing campaigns, with fundraising management being our primary focus. However, there is potential for the platform to also facilitate volunteer management, a decision that will be made at a later time. Consequently, it is highly beneficial for the individual to possess knowledge of the fundraising framework of charitable organisations; nonetheless, we are prepared to provide training in this area if needed.

This is a great chance for anyone eager to gain experience in leading SF projects, enhance their CV, or simply use their skills to assist charities and contribute to our mission of improving lives.

Your support will be incredibly valuable to us, significantly enhancing our system and bolstering our efforts as a small charity, and you will be embraced as a vital member of our team.

Period:

The estimated time commitment is between 4 to 5 hours per week; however, we are willing to accommodate your schedule to find mutually agreeable hours. We kindly request that you submit your application only if you can commit to a minimum of 4 hours of work each week and remain engaged until the implementation and training phases are completed. Additionally, we regret to inform you that we cannot accept applications from individuals who do not possess at least 2 years of experience with Salesforce NPSP.

Given the nature of the sensitive data we handle, we will only consider applications from qualified Salesforce Developers who can provide two professional references from prior work involving Salesforce.

Could you help to raise vital funds for SSAFA in your local area? You don’t need a military background, just the ability to get on with all kinds of people, some basic I.T skills and good written and spoken English. If you already have some fundraising experience that would be great too but it’s not essential.

What is a Fundraising Coordinator?

As Fundraising Coordinator, you would work with your local SSAFA branch to develop a Fundraising Plan. You would be central to delivering this local plan to raise funds through a range of local sources including grants, trusts, appeals, collections, and events.

Why do we need you?

We’ve been supporting the Armed Forces community since 1885. Our clients come from all backgrounds and age groups and may have served in WW2 or in a more recent conflict like the Falklands or Afghanistan.

There are SSAFA branches throughout the UK and overseas who support local volunteers to deliver services to veterans, serving personnel and their families. Some branches are divided into smaller divisions to ensure the best local service delivery. Each branch has a team of volunteer caseworkers, support volunteers, executive roles, and fundraisers.

SSAFA branches rely on a regular charitable income to fund all the necessities behind our support for clients. This includes volunteer travel expenses, phone bills, publicity, and grants for clients in urgent needs. A varied programme of fundraising also keeps the SSAFA profile high in the local community. We’d love to hear from you if you could help by coordinating this vital aspect of your local SSAFA branch.

When would you be needed and where would you be based?

As part of your local branch, you might have access to an office, but many volunteers are based at home. You would also be out and about at events and meetings. This role would suit someone looking to give a regular time commitment to SSAFA although when and where would be flexible to suit you.

What would you be doing?

• Developing an ethical fundraising plan based on the needs of the branch and choosing a mix of sources.
• Working with the branch secretary and Regional Fundraising Manager, recruit a team of fundraising volunteers to support events, appeals and collections.
• Working with the Regional Fundraising Manager, support national fundraising campaigns.
• Working with the Branch Publicity Officer, develop opportunities to combine awareness and fundraising.
