Women Hands-On Skills Trainer

Are you passionate about empowering vulnerable women and girls with Hands on Skills? Are you skilled and experienced in the field of catering and bakery, hair dressing, tailoring/designing/fashion, and farming? We would like to invite you to volunteer and share your skills with the vulnerable women and girls in Uganda.

Volunteer tasks include:

Equip women and girls with skills: The volunteer will be responsible for training and equipping the vulnerable women and girls with the skills depending on your area of specialization and experience.

Identify markets: You will work with the women and girls to identify and secure markets for the products that are made after the skills training. This will involve working with women to identify the markets as individual or as a group.

Award Certificates of completion: At the completion of the Hands-On Skills training, you will be expected to award certificates to women and girls, and preside over their graduation. This is always an exciting time for many vulnerable women and girls as they get to celebrate their achievements.

Write grants proposals: Once the women and girls have completed their hands-on skills, the organization always gives them startup toolkit (equipment) which helps them to start a livelihoods and their business venture. The toolkit empowers vulnerable women and girls with equipments such as tailoring machines, catering equipment, Hair Dryer and Garden Tools. The volunteer will therefore be required to write grant proposals to support the women and girls with the startup Toolkit.

Provide One to One Mentorship: To help the women and girls learn and acquire lifelong skills, the volunteer will provide comprehensive mentorship and follow up with the trainees. This will involve providing extra time to listen and solve some challenges with the women and girls, responding to questions and providing continuous advise.

Build projects with the women and girls: You will be responsible for helping the vulnerable women and girls startup ventures and projects once the skills training is complete or in the course of the training. This will give you an opportunity to monitor the progress of the projects.
