Earth Rights Institute new program - Family Food Gardens addressing Malnutrition
Our startup program in the Comoros Islands (off east coast of Africa) - to address poverty. We are organizing our first projects with the government. A fact finding visit is being planned and we need volunteers to help us organize our trip and implement projects over the new year.
Looking for a volunteer who is interested in such a program and can speak French (Arabic would be a bonus) We are looking for grants funds and sponsors for the projects. It is part of a larger program for introducing sustainable development within the grassroots context.
We are gathering partners and international agencies to invest in this initiative. It is part of the UN Global Goals - Human Development Index.
Please send bio and cover letter with references to info@earthrightsinstitute.org
