The Childfund Mission
- To help deprived, excluded and vulnerable children living in poverty have the capacity to become young adults, parents and leaders who bring lasting and positive change to their communities.
- To promote societies whose individuals and institutions participate in valuing, protecting, and advancing the worth and the rights of children.
This organization have many vacancies. However there were two vacancies that caught my attention.
PROGRAM MANAGER - GUATEMALA (ENGLISH/SPANISH) (302264-818)
PROGRAM MANAGER - ECUADOR (ENGLISH/SPANISH) (302282-818)
These two positions are responsible for leadership for the effective planning, implementation, monitoring, sharing lessons learned, tracking and reporting on all program activities including the development of plans and proposals, networks and partnerships based on organization’s program approach.
I believe I have the experience and qualifications for this job because I am bilingual English/Spanish and have worked and I work with families in poverty. Also, this program degree has prepared us well for taking on in challenges such as this one.
The RISE Institute is committed to helping nations affected by conflicts or severe poverty to provide high-quality educational opportunities for young children, youth and families. RISE assists countries to develop comprehensive, culturally appropriate and effective policies, programs and evaluation systems for early childhood development, formal and non-formal education, girl's and women's education, and workforce development.
Unfortunately I was not able to find career opportunities posted on their websites. However I am very intrigued with what this organization offers and their work.
ICRI envisions a world in which all children and families are able to fulfill their greatest potential. We work towards this goal by focusing on:
Early Childhood Care and Education
All children deserve access to high quality, stimulating, developmentally appropriate early childhood care and education. We believe that early intervention promotes the healthy growth and development not just of individual children, but of entire communities.Children’s Rights
Children must be allowed to live safe and stable lives, free from abuse and violence. We believe that recognizing and protecting children’s rights is an essential step towards ensuring human rights for all.Empowerment of Women and Girls
Women and girls must be allowed to advance themselves and their communities without discrimination, exploitation, or gender-based violence. We believe that investing in young women and girls is one of the most effective means of transforming society.Maternal and Child Health
Women and children must have access to health interventions that allow them to physically and mentally thrive. We believe that HIV/AIDS and other public health challenges must be addressed at every opportunity, in order to ensure the wellbeing of individual women and children as well as the larger communities in which they live.At this time they only have a marketing internship job available. However, I imagine than in the future there can be some jobs available that I can qualified for.
Marta,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading about all of your organizations. I want to look into the further because I believe in what they all stand for. I really like that the International Child Resource Center focus on women and children having health interventions. This is really important. Thanks for sharing!
I enjoyed reading your post and I think the Child Fund Organization serves as great cause. I live in an area that consists of low to poverty stricken families. Great Job!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for introducing me to these three international organizations. They each have worthy missions. It would be an honor to work for any of them. In reading your post about the RISE Institute, I saw its policies focus on girls and women. I took note that in conflict-ridden and poverty-stricken countries, women and children are the hope for growth. We are powerful, loving creatures, no matter where in the world we call home!
ReplyDeleteMarta,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing information about these international organizations. All three are new to me, but like you, I am thrilled to see that all three of the organizations focus on women, children, and education!. The ICRI's focus on health is especially important. Without good health, it is hard to educate young girls.
Thank you again for sharing these organizations with our class!
I have never heard of these organizations before. I learned a lot from your post! It sounds like it would be a positive and wonderful thing if you were to work for any of these organizations. How exciting! Thank you for the resources!
ReplyDeleteYour blog is exceptional! This blog of yours will be really helpful who are looking for early head start monitoring. This will also helped a lot in finding the best organization for training in social and emotional development.
ReplyDeleteEarly Childhood Start programs encourage the physical, intellectual, social and emotional development of infants and toddlers through safe and stimulating care for development. These programs also help caregivers or parents to achieve self-sufficiency in a variety of areas, including housing stability, continuing education and monetary security. early head start monitoring
