Enterprise Volunteer (Nepal)

Street Child is looking for individuals hoping to gain valuable experience in the development sector by undertaking an entrepreneurial volunteer role in Nepal. This placement is a unique opportunity to make a critical contribution to an organisation that is setting up and scaling its efforts to enable children in Nepal to access education that is inclusive, sustainable and life-saving.

Street Child Commercial was established in 2011 as a unique fundraising stream for Street Child in Sierra Leone. A series of shops and cafes in Sierra Leone create a sustainable source of income by turning profits which are then reinvested into projects. Street Child is currently seeking to create a similar model in Nepal and is looking for an entrepreneurial volunteer interested in leading this effort for anywhere between six to twelve weeks.

Working alongside the Street Child of Nepal team, key responsibilities will include:

● Analysing and modelling the viability of the enterprise

● Researching the legal and regulatory requirements for establishment of the enterprise

● Designing and developing the enterprise in its start-up phase, including the establishment of operational systems, staffing and management

This is a wonderful opportunity for you to learn about the social enterprise sector through an immersive experience, and to make a lasting contribution to the organisation and its aim to empower children through education in West Africa and Nepal.
