Upcycle Africa delivers an integrated, circular solution that transforms plastic pollution into affordable housing, dignified jobs, and sustainable local economies.
Africa faces interconnected crises of plastic pollution, unsafe housing, and high youth unemployment. In Uganda, hundreds of tonnes of plastic are generated daily, with most ending up in drainage channels or burned, leading to toxic emissions and frequent flooding. Simultaneously, millions of low-income households live in homes vulnerable to extreme weather, while the youngest population in the world struggles to find formal, dignified employment.
Upcycle Africa tackles these challenges through a community-led circular model. We establish collection hubs where youth and women are trained to process waste into raw materials. These materials are then used to manufacture eco-bricks and modular components for durable, flood-resistant, and thermally efficient homes. To date, we have diverted over 3 million plastic bottles from the environment, constructed 300 eco-homes sheltering 1,800 people, and integrated 2,500 waste collectors into safe, green value chains.
About the Role
We are looking for a creative and strategic Social Media & Digital Marketing Manager to help elevate Upcycle Africa’s global presence and strengthen our visibility among investors, partners, and impact communities.
What You’ll Do
- Develop and manage a consistent social media strategy
- Create engaging content (LinkedIn, Instagram, X, etc.)
- Share impact stories, project updates, and milestones
- Support campaign visibility (including Change 100)
- Improve engagement and audience growth
Ideal Background
- Experience managing social media for brands or startups
- Strong storytelling and content creation skills
- Understanding of sustainability or social impact space
Expected Impact
Stronger visibility will help attract investors, corporate partners, skilled volunteers, and global recognition.
Minimum Hours per Week:
4-6 hours per week
Duration:
3-5 months
We connect professionals with impact startups matching their causes, skills & schedule.

BIND is a collection of projects and people that reduce food waste by bringing people together to create change. We design and deliver projects across sectors that push boundaries and achieve results.

Our work is split between Magic Hat, Eat Smart and food waste partnerships.
Magic Hat is Newcastle City Centre’s first and only coffee shop, kitchen and events venue dedicated to impacting the UK’s wider food waste problem - positively.

Magic Hat also operates a volunteer programme, a PAYF shop, an events programme and a hireable meeting space/kitchen.

Since 2018 Eat Smart has enabled 70 schools in North East England to rescue their food waste by over 25%, equivalent to saving 6,000 meals worth £13,000 per school, per year, and our expansion to other areas of the UK has already begun. With an ever-growing data set and credibility for school food waste prevention, we have increasing potential to affect school food policy and deliver food waste prevention interventions on a national level.
Bind is expanding its work to ensure food waste prevention, not just redistribution, is at the heart of our mission. Bind works in partnership with businesses, local authorities and community groups to help them reduce their food waste, and reduce their food bills by using surplus food in their kitchens.
