Tanzania Development Trust (TDT) works in some of the poorest parts of Tanzania, helping people to lift themselves out of poverty by funding small projects that meet their essential needs.
It sponsors 40-50 small rural development projects p.a. in Tanzania, mainly in the areas of clean water, girls' education and small income generating activities. It also has 3-4 larger, longer-term projects. Its primary function is fundraising, although it provides general project management and business advice where appropriate.
Around half of its income comes from individual donors, and half from Trusts & Foundations. It helps villagers in Tanzania who lack the capacity and language skills to present their projects to international donors, conducting project appraisals and monitoring project outcomes on their behalf. The projects are implemented by the villagers themselves, or by small local contractors.
TDT is run entirely by volunteers (17 regular volunteers in the UK and 16 local representatives in Tanzania). It has no paid staff, premises or overheads, so 100% of all money raised goes directly to projects in Tanzania.
We are looking for additional Trustees who can help us to grow by identifying potential donors, increasing awareness of our activities, and strengthening our project selection and monitoring procedures.
We would like at least one of the new Trustees to help us with fund-raising by piloting more innovative and creative approaches. Experience of living or working in Tanzania is not essential, but to improve the Board’s racial diversity we would like at least one of the new Trustees to be of Tanzanian origin or have strong connections with East Africa.
The Trustees are all unpaid. Although their main job is the overall direction of the business, they can become involved in day-to-day operations if they so wish. We all work remotely, which helps us to engage with our local representatives in Tanzania in everything we do.
The work we do is immensely rewarding. You would be joining a close-knit organisation that is growing and adapting to meet the needs of a changing world, where helping poor people to help themselves is of paramount importance.

We would still be happy to host you if space is available. However, in a situation where the volunteer houses are full, this would allow us to offer a volunteering opportunity to someone that cannot afford to pay rent.

We challenge the biases that make us see refugees as “the other”. We change the way society perceives refugees, and refugees perceive society.

World Child Cancer is looking for new trustees to join our Board from autumn 2024.
World Child Cancer is the leading international children’s charity dedicated to addressing the global inequality in childhood cancer care. Our vision is a world where every child with cancer has equal access to treatment and care. Our mission is to improve diagnosis, treatment, and support for children with cancer, and their families, in low and middle-income countries around the world.
Most childhood cancers are curable. Survival rates in the UK, USA and Europe are now over 80%. But for children in low and middle-income countries, where more than 90% of cases of childhood cancer arise, the prognosis is bleak; in some countries a child’s chance of survival may be as low as 10%. Over 1,000 young lives are lost to cancer every single day. We know that childhood cancer can be cured. The challenge is making the change which will mean that every child with cancer gets the diagnosis, treatment and care they need.
As a Trustee you will play a vital role in helping World Child Cancer to grow in order for us to achieve our mission to improve diagnosis, treatment, and support for children with cancer, and their families, in low and middle-income
countries around the world. As a member of the Board of Trustees you will govern the organisation, to provide a clear and inspiring strategic direction for the organisation, ensure that we meet our charitable objects, agree our strategic goals, and evaluate our progress in meeting them.
Our Board brings together Trustees with a wide range of expertise and experience, from diverse professional backgrounds. New Trustees with skills and expertise in the areas of fundraising, marketing and digital communications, finance, and third sector leadership would be especially welcome as we begin to develop our new strategy. We would also be keen to hear from potential Trustees who have lived experience of childhood cancer, either as a patient, or a parent or other family member. Trustees do not have to be UK-based and we welcome international applications. We also welcome applications from those who are new to serving at Board level and will provide an induction and support plan for all new trustees in their first year as they get to know the Board and the charity. The most important attributes for any trustee are passion for World Child Cancer’s mission, commitment to our cause, and the ambition to help us grow.

The Position
We are looking for a Grants Officer who can coordinate our grants team and support diverse tasks that include research, ideation and writing of proposals. In this role you’ll be a key contributor to the continued existence of Second Tree, a small, grassroots NGO that is dependent on grants to survive.
To do this successfully, you will employ meticulous time-management and organization skills, as juggling multiple tasks with competing deadlines is common in this role. You’ll also be able to work efficiently independently, managing your own time and tasks; and in a team, overseeing project timelines and ensuring deadlines are met.
You’ll have demonstrable writing experience and the ability to communicate professionally in English. You will also have experience researching and/or writing grants, producing content that is compelling and that will help Second Tree secure new funding streams. Finally, you’ll have an adaptable and flexible attitude, knowing that problem-solving and meeting tight deadlines are inevitable aspects of this role.
The role will include:
- Researching and identifying new grant opportunities on a weekly basis;
- Summarizing relevant grant opportunities and suggest how to best respond and comply with them;
- Researching information and data necessary for grants and grant reporting;
- Managing the organization of proposals and other documents created by the grants team;
- Supporting the development of outlines, timelines, staffing and budgets for grants according to funding guidelines;
- Supporting grants team with proposal writing;
- Creating timelines and coordinating team to ensure deadlines are met;
- Maintaining necessary records, files, reports, databases, and resource materials for Grants team;
- Working with the wider Second Tree team to ensure that all project proposals align with organisational, and program strategies;
- Establishing and maintain connections with funding bodies;
- Performing other duties as assigned;
Skills Required:
- Ability to professionally communicate in English (verbally and in writing);
- Ability to compile and maintain a variety of documents needed for the research, monitoring, development and submission of a proposal;
- Ability to read, comprehend, interpret, summarise and follow proposal guidelines;
- Ability to conduct thorough, high-quality, independent research;
- Ability to work both independently and as part of a team;
- Ability to manage and prioritize projects effectively to meet team and proposal deadlines;
- Ability to work to tight deadlines with flexibility and problem-solving attitude;
- Ability to hold team members accountable to tight deadlines
Skills Desired:
- Working knowledge of project management techniques such as LFA;
- Ability to facilitate meetings and coordinate the work of teams;
- Knowledge of and experience with grant-giving bodies and other external funding sources (e.g. European Commission);
What We Offer:
- Accommodation in a shared house.
- Transportation to/from work.
- After completion of a three-month trial, if you commit long-term, small monthly expenses refund.
We believe that a good proposal must embody the spirit of the organization and the cause it is asking funding for. In order for this to happen, the successful candidate will be encouraged to join us on the ground and immerse themselves in our work. In addition to coordinating the grant team (not a full time position), your participation could take on many forms, from support in the education programs to the delivery of workshops and expeditions with the Youth Scouts – we look forward to hearing your ideas on how best to apply your skills in this context. By coming here, you would gain first-hand experience of the situation on the ground, working in a grassroots organization with a small but dedicated team. This immersion will give you a solid sense of our work, our mission and our approach – which would facilitate your ability to attract supporters.
We have two volunteer houses that can host up to nine people where long-term volunteers are accommodated. Some volunteers choose to rent their own accommodation. In certain periods of the year, demand is extremely high, and the volunteer houses might be full. If you have the means to pay for your own accommodation, please let us know. We would still be happy to host you if space is available. However, in a situation where the volunteer houses are full, this would allow us to offer a volunteering opportunity to someone that cannot afford to pay rent.
We encourage applicants to join us in person, but if this is not possible we will consider remote applications for this role.
NOTE: If you require a visa to stay in Greece for the minimum ten-week commitment, please know that as a Greek NGO, we are unable to sponsor your visa.

In your mail, please:

Raising Futures Kenya supports young people in Kenya to become self-reliant and live free from poverty, through technical vocational training and business skills courses, and specialised support such as counselling. We are a small, award-winning charity who are actively shifting power to our Kenyan partner NGO.
We are looking for an experienced finance professional to join our Board of Trustees as the Treasurer, to oversee the appropriate management of charity finances, adhering to relevant regulatory compliance, and to lead on reporting on the financial situation to the Board.
We are in Year 2 of our 5 year Strategic Plan, where the focus is on shifting the decision making power to our partner NGO in Kenya. Ultimately our long-term goal is to not be needed, but we realise the funding landscape is a long way off that at the moment.
As one of our Trustees you'll be part of an award-winning small charity who is leading the way in ethical development, primarily by actively shifting power and decision making to our incredible partner NGO in Kenya. We're a small charity but we definitely have a big impact and want to share our learning and knowledge with other NGOs who want to follow the same path of shifting power. We don't just talk about what we want to do, we get it done.
Volunteering your time as a Board member is a two-way street, we want to ensure you get something from it too, so we'll do all we can to ensure you get any experience, training or skills you'd like.
Please see the detailed role description for more information about our charity and what the role entails. Please do not hesitate to contact Kirsty, the CEO, in advance of applying if you have any questions. We look forward to hearing from you.
Our mission is to create opportunities with children and young people in Kenya to break the cycle of poverty and inequality and fulfil their potential
