Street Child Jobs in Uganda

Street Child's aim is to create educational opportunities for some of the world’s most vulnerable children. We began our work in 2008 in Sierra Leone working with a small number of street children, nine years later we have helped to transform the lives of more than 100,000 children across Sierra Leone, Liberia, Sri Lanka and Nepal. In 2017 we launched our first project in Nigeria helping children impacted by war in the North East of the country. And now in 2018, we are launching in Uganda, where a refugee crisis and poverty leave too many children devoid of basic education.

Street Child is seeking volunteers to help launch our new programmes in Uganda. With an ongoing refugee crisis in the North of the country, and poverty debilitating many more families, there is a serious gap in education and children’s well being.

Following Street Child’s policy to help the world’s most vulnerable children, our work will focus on refugee and street-connected children who lack access to meaningful education and security. We need volunteers to conduct in-depth research to help inform the future of our programmes as we look to starting operations in yet another country.

This placement is a unique opportunity to take a front line role in helping to launch new programmes research, and make a lasting and critical contribution to an international development organisation.

You will be gaining the skills and experience you will need for a career in the humanitarian sector, while also taking on a new challenge, meeting extraordinary people and exploring a beautiful country. And, most importantly, you will be helping children living in poverty and crisis to access meaningful education.

Street Child offers placements for anywhere between four to twelve weeks to support the work of our local partners in Uganda.
