Volunteer Grant writer and team member for Africa water charity

What will you be doing?

We looking for a passionate person who can research and help us set up a grant writing pipeline, and write grants, in a collaborative manner, to corporates and foundations, requesting support for our Artificial Intelligence groundwater mapping project, for groundwater detection, that we are working on with university partners, in Ethiopia, and remotely in the USA and UK.  We can supply a well thought out plan, leads, and two powerful databases.  We hold regular meetings with on-going support.  We are a listening organisation.

What are we looking for?

The ideal volunteer for this role would be someone who really cares about Africa first and foremost and wants to help small farmers. Your technical skills at writing will also be very helpful, particularly if you have grant writing experience. No knowledge of AI is required.  Are you able to share work and both give and take constructive & positive feedback ? Can you help organise us to build a nice pipe line of applications in an orderly manner ? Are you flexible, if a donor suddenly asks for a last minute bid from us ? (Incidentally we try to avoid this, but when it happens, can you smile ?  :-)

What difference will you make?

This is a unique opportunity to contribute to a project to provide groundwater maps to guide where wells in Ethiopia are drilled and dug - to help drive down risks and costs and make resources go further.
