Job description

Waweza Social Enterprise links coastal women producers to fair markets and reinvests profits into the next generation of agri-preneurs to build a resilient, food-secure future.

In coastal Kenya, youth make up over 75% of the population, yet fewer than 10% are engaged in agribusiness due to systemic barriers like lack of training and resources. At the same time, recurring droughts and limited market access have left 85% of local women living below the poverty line. These women, who are the backbone of food production, face immense challenges in scaling their micro-businesses and protecting their families from environmental shocks.

Waweza addresses this through the Youth and Women Economic Lab (YOUWEL) project. We bridge the gap by purchasing products—such as goats and hand-woven baskets—directly from women at fair prices and reselling them in high-demand urban centers. Instead of extracting profits, we reinvest them into mentorship, coaching, and climate-smart agribusiness training for local youth. This integrated approach creates a self-sustaining cycle where women gain economic independence, youth build viable careers in agriculture, and communities develop the long-term resilience needed to overcome poverty.

Role Description:

  • Support the enterprise in identifying potential funding opportunities 
  • Assist in drafting, editing, and formatting funding proposals 
  • Work closely with the organization Founder to ensure proposals reflect community needs and organizational priorities.
  • Share knowledge and skills with Waweza team members to improve future proposal writing and fundraising efforts.

Minimum Hours per Week:

2-3 hours per week

Duration:

3-5 months
