Outreach Uganda is looking for a reliable and organized person who can help us with general office work. This will include handling correspondence, shipping web orders, running errands, and tagging and organizing our bead inventory. If the person can drive to Southwest Plaza and help restock our small shop there, that is a plus! We especially need someone who has time available in December as we are very busy marketing our Ugandan women's craft products. The ideal match is someone who can commit to a consistent day and time frame every week for the 3 month period, or someone who has more time available during December.

Prior to working with OU, our women participants were normally living on less than $2 per day, and were supporting 8 to 10 children and orphans in their households. Many are widows whose husbands died in the war, or from AIDS.
We do not give handouts but work on building capacity and encouraging those we work with to help themselves.
