Lotus Outreach is a secular, non-profit organization dedicated to improving the living conditions of vulnerable children and their communities through education and healthcare. We work in some of the most troubled and poverty-stricken parts of the world to protect children and help them build self-reliant and dignified lives. Our primary aim is to prevent child labor and sexual trafficking. Our approach in combating these problems is multi-pronged, with a focus on prevention, rehabilitation, and long-term sustainability. At present, we fund and manage projects in India and Cambodia. We work to increase school enrollment and improve education standards in rural communities in order to keep children out of quarries and brothels, and in school. We provide non-formal education and counseling to young women who are victims of the commercial sex trade, trafficking or rape. We provide healthcare to vulnerable young women and children. And we inform vulnerable migrant communities about the dangers of trafficking and provide safe places and rehabilitation for those who have already fallen into its tragic grip. We believe that change must come from within and that is why we partner with community-established grassroots organizations to develop, manage and fund projects. This model allows us to be incredibly efficient. In countries such as Cambodia and India, where the per capita incomes are $380 and $720 respectively, you can imagine how effectively we are able to extend our donor dollars at the grassroots level. In addition, we are a primarily volunteer organization which allows us to keep our administrative costs extremely low. We are currently looking for a volunteer to assist us in implementing our Public Relations plan. The primary goals of this plan include: · Promoting and enhancing the reputation of Lotus Outreach, its Affiliates, Programs and Partners · Increasing awareness surrounding the problems confronting the people we serve · Increasing and maintaining public awareness of the Lotus Outreach vision, mission and goals when the opportunity to do so presents itself or can be cultivated · Promoting Lotus Outreach in a positive light in the most appropriate media channels using appropriate means and tactics · Serving the fundraising needs of Lotus Outreach We are specifically looking for assistance in developing a media contact list and drafting press releases.
