You can be located anywhere in the world as long as you have a computer.

We work on a basis of at least 5-10 hours weekly depending on what is happening that week. We always show flexibility both ways.
The position is split into two parts. Let us know if you are interested in either the Fundraiser or Accountant part, as we will consider to split this role into two. However, we hope to find a team member to fill both parts.

Fundraisers need excellent communication skills, both verbal and written.
You need to be good at researching and devising strategies and taking advantage of donation possibilities.
The fundraiser must be adept at building long-term relationships with potential donors and persuasively explaining our cause.
The ability to manage budgets and hit fundraising targets are important, as are organisational and IT skills.
Last but not least you need to believe in our vision in Laos, and care deeply about the people and nature we work towards helping. Volunteering with us is an adventure, and we need team members who are ready for the task, can work independently but also is a great communicator and an honest team member.
