Graphic designer for math book
ORGANIZATION: Nyamboyo Technical School
Please visit the new page to apply.
Nyamboyo Technical School is seeking a skilled volunteer who can create a template to create a new math book donated to NTS!
NTS a not-for-profit 3-year vocational school located in the Nyamboyo Village in southwestern Kenya. You can learn all about us at www.nyamboyotechnical.org. We provide professional, technical education to the economically disadvantaged teens and young adults of the community, all of whom live under the international poverty level of $2.15/day. Founded, and run by a Kenyan team, the small American funding team is looking for someone to work with our Executive Director to help research and select grant targets. This is very important to help us build not only our funding base but also our nutrition, mental health and women's health programs.
The Opportunity
Our students have had limited math education and, in response, a known, published writer has created an algebra textbook exclusively for NTS. It is remarkable but has been given to us in Word and the visuals are a mess. The book needs to be put into a publishable format with a simple, elegant design. We need someone to create the template for us, finding a program that allows math equations to be easily input. (This is proving harder than we expected.)
We then need you to either input the text or teach us. We will purchase any program necessary to make this project a reality!

Mission Statement
Nyamboyo Technical School is transforming young lives, families and communities through vocational education and economic opportunity in Nyamboyo, Kenya.
Description
NTS a not-for-profit 3-year vocational school located in the Nyamboyo Village in southwestern Kenya. We provide professional, technical education to the economically disadvantaged teens and young adults of the community. Our students are ages 14-20 and all have family histories of poverty, lack of education and job opportunities, and chronic food insecurity. At NTS, they receive professional vocational training, 3 meals a day to combat hunger and malnutrition, English-language classes, computer training, and daily COVID-safe sports activities. They also participate in school-run businesses, learning how to become business owners and making money while in school. Our students thrive professionally, physically, and psychologically.
Ultimately, we are building a positive, prosperous future for our youth, as employees, small business owners, and serial entrepreneurs!
NTS is led by Executive Director, Jones Obiria, a native of Nyamboro, who founded the school because he felt an obligation to lead after he, himself was able to escape poverty through the gift of education. Here in the U.S., a small, dedicated team of two are working to help raise awareness and funds for NTS. In Jones’ words "People save their own lives. Our job is to provide the opportunity. I hope you will join our journey."
