Beacon of Hope Foundation Job Vacancy For Business Development Officer

Beacon of Hope Foundation is a non-profit organization with a passion to positively transform children and youth lives through the implementation of lasting solutions strengthened by effective partnerships between communities, non-governmental organizations and governments in sub Saharan Africa.

We are dedicated to eradicating child labor by first educating identified poor parents on the importance of basic education, providing them with some skills and support where needed, and thereafter, sending their children (between 7 – 14 years) back to school, and ensuring they stay to at least the Senior High School.

Our Women Empowerment Program, with two arms, the Early Childhood Program and the Shelter Program provides vulnerable, young and homeless and single pregnant women with prenatal support like shelter, food and clothes for themselves and other forms of support when their babies are born.  It also provides poor and needy single mothers with skills and knowledge in home making (catering, sewing, etc.) activities.  These women are provided with tools and other pertinent support, like access to financial entities, to enable them establishes and grow their businesses.

As part of our goal to eradicate streetism and support the homeless, poor and unprofessional youth to develop professional skills to enable them establish businesses or for improved employment opportunities for a brighter future, we have developed a Youth Empowerment Program.  This program will select homeless street youth and give them training in the building industry, vehicle repair industry and home care industry.  Trained youth will have tools and finances to establish their own businesses.
