JOB DETAILS:
Projects Assistant
International Transformation Foundation (ITF) is an international youth-led non-profit organization providing youth educational and self-development programs, encompassing leadership and entrepreneurship, to harness creativity for a youth system that provides jobs, offers security, opportunities to grow, and contributes to the development of our communities.
Since its establishment ITF has been developing and operating youth development programs to lead the youth of today as leaders with strong hearts and minds as true workers of society with creative and progressive thinking. Our current projects are:

1. Join the Pipe Project: Installing sustainable tap water stations near playgrounds, city centers, parks, schools, and bus stations in Africa; for people to access clean tap water whenever possible.
The project also works to bring awareness to the environmental impact of production and waste of bottled water through two ventures:
· A water kiosk at school: a school-based and students-managed business selling clean tap water to community residents. It involves financing a community school to set up an onsite water kiosk with specially designed and sustainable products for children to transport tap water at home straight from school. It is both an educational and profitable business – teaching students business and entrepreneurial skills, and generating much-needed income for schools.
· Public drinking tap water station: In partnership with urban Communities/Towns/Cities we install our non-breakable drinking water station in Public places for people to access clean drinking tap water free of charge.
2. Jijenge Kijana Fund: a youth livelihood pathway offering microcredit, micro-saving, and training which enables ITF members to engage in productive and stable livelihoods
3. Erasmus Plus Projects:
· GO-PRO The main objective of the project is to create space for the development of key information and communications technology (ICT) competencies in the field of programming for children and youth. The project plans on achieving this by creating GO-PRO centers where modern programming education can take place and, in the process, awaken the passion to code in the youth. This project is done in collaboration with Meritum (Poland) and International Transformation Foundation (Kenya).
4. Evergreen This is a project aimed at empowering the youth which ITF will implement in collaboration with the Association for European Cooperation, Development, and Communication (CODEC vzw), Belgium. 4Evergreen will bridge 2 programme objectives– to support awareness-raising on the environmental and climate goals and to take up innovative practices in a digital era. The project's main aim thereafter is to contribute to the just and inclusive transition to sustainable living throughout empowering youth work sector across the globe to raise awareness on environmental issues by personal example and digital tools – the language of young people.
