Job Description
The

humanitarian crises and helps people to survive and rebuild their lives.
Founded in 1933 at the request of Albert Einstein, the IRC offers
lifesaving care and life-changing assistance to refugees forced to flee

cities, we restore safety, dignity and hope to millions who are uprooted
and struggling to endure. The IRC leads the way from harm to home.
The
IRC has been providing education services for Congolese and Burundian
girls and boys in the Nyarugusu Refugee Camp since January 2014 and
extended education services to Mtendeli refugee camp in March 2016.
Services cover the full education spectrum from pre-school, through
primary and secondary school, Technical Vocational Education and
Training (TVET), and tertiary education applications. Schools follow the
country of origin national curriculum (Burundian and Congolese).
The
IRC is the consortium lead for an upcoming project to be delivered in
partnership with Caritas and Plan International. The two year project is
designed to increase access to quality education for children in
Nyarugusu, Mtendeli, and Nduta refugee camps.
