  • Description

    Jek Development Foundation (JEKDEF) has placement for volunteer to help facilitate the process for community enhancement which is the preoccupation of jek-def in general. This placement will go a long way rehabilitating hope and dignity to the community poor.

    Volunteer participation will help JEKDEF get to the point where she can approach and collaborate with the international development community in a more effective way.

    We accept volunteers with a wide range of skills and a strong belief in the value of sustainability and who are willing to make a long-lasting contribution in the work we are doing. Volunteers will bring the most value in their organizational skills, reliability, project and people management, and basic enthusiasm. Each volunteer will be provided with SMART objectives upon arrival. At this point, our work depends largely on volunteer support and involvement plus their generous financial support to kick-start some of our projects or replicate sustainable ones
