Mission and objectives :
GLOWA fights against human trafficking and the damage it creates in our communities throughout the Northwest region of Cameroon through community education to prevent trafficking, support for victims, and advocacy on their behalf. Through these works, GLOWA aims to nurture a culture of respect for human rights, particularly those of children and women, in the region and fight against the systematic abuses faced by the most vulnerable.
Context :
The North West and South West Regions of Cameroon where GLOWA is most active are experiencing an armed conflict since 2017. The conflict has negatively affected lives with more than 70% of schools closed and thousands of children put out of school. Hundreds of villages and homes have been raised by flames. The result has been an increased vulnerability of children especially young girls to trafficking and exploitation in the sexual and domestic services sectors. The Norwegian Refugee Council has classified the conflict as the most neglected in the world for the third year running. GLOWA is presently engaged in the development of modules and tools to help in the provision of vocational training to rescued victims of child trafficking and other vulnerable young people especially in the restive North West Region of Cameroon.
Task description :
GLOWAHaus is developing a rehabilitation and stabilization project for abuse children and women through vocational training and psychosocial counselling. Unfortunately, there is not available curriculum for vocational training in Cameroon. GLOWA is soliciting the support of volunteer(s) to help put in place a pioneer curriculum for vocational training in Cameroon that will enable us provide a ground breaking livelihood training for survivors of training. The vocational training options for which we seek curriculum developers include sewing, embroidery, hairdressing and shoemaking. The curriculum developers shall help create compelling content including written materials, presentation materials, hands-on exercises, job aids and knowledge assessments tools.
Requirements :
Required experience : Our Program Participants are individuals with limited formal education who have been abused sexually and physically. It is therefore important for the volunteer curriculum developers possess adequate knowledge in any of the vocational training options of sewing, embroidery, hairdressing and shoemaking. A knowledge of curriculum development and course content writing is mandatory for this assignment. It is equally important for volunteer to understand that the targeted trainees are emotionally shattered young people whose minds keep wandering and should seek to develop engaging short training sessions to facilitate skills development.
Languages : English, Level: Fluent, Required.
