Director of Fundraising Position Description

The Organization:

ONETrack International is an organization that practices Transition to Home orphan-care around the world. We assume the role of foster care from the state by removing orphaned children from their orphanages and placing them in the households of biological family at the village level. We then sponsor all of the educations, healthcare, and caretaker support needed to strengthen the family unit so that they can take on the responsibilities of their relatives.

We are currently operating in Cameroon, The Gambia, Cambodia and Zimbabwe; in Liberia, with children made parentless by the ebola epidemic; in Honduras, with communities affected by the "Migrant Caravan" crisis; and in Greece, where our team is launching programs with Yazidi refugees who have been persecuted by ISIS militants and have been overlooked by the overall response.
