Job Description

Friends of Ngong Road was founded in 2006 by Paula Meyer after a family trip to Kenya. During that trip, she met Pastor Peter Ndungu, who had recently returned to Kenya after completing a Master’s Degree at Luther Seminary in St. Paul, MN. Peter was serving a congregation in the area known as the Dagoretti slums of Nairobi and was disturbed by the number of children who could not attend school because their parents and/or guardians had been affected by HIV/AIDS epidemic. These impoverished families were simply unable to afford the cost of a school uniform or modest school fees.

Job Purpose

  • Identifying industries and jobs in high demand by scanning the job market for emerging trends
  • Develop and Manage partnerships with local businesses, organizations, companies, and Government agencies to create economic opportunities for NRCF beneficiaries
  • Working with NRCF’s postsecondary and secondary departments to identify and target students for these partnerships by offering career mentorship
  • Ensuring the success of alumni job placement through job preparedness (CV writing, interview skills, and work skills

training)

Working Conditions

  • Primarily the position will be based at Ngong Road Children’s Foundation offices currently located at Dagoretti Corner, Nairobi, but travel within and outside Nairobi to meet with Post-Secondary institutions, Alumni at their workplace, and potential employers will be necessary.

Qualifications Required

  • Bachelor’s degree in Social Science or a similar field.
