    VOLUNTEER DESCRIPTION Join our team in one of the most remote areas of East-Africa mentoring a team of young adults on their way to become entrepreneurs on the global digital market. Build up a relationship with bright African minds, and enable them to have a successful career, without having to leave their home region. It will be a live- changing experience! Full-board and lodging will be provided. WANTED! If YOU... • Have skills in programming, graphic design, animation, film or music. • Have skills in sales, marketing, project management, or alike. • Can commit to at least 6-8 weeks (ideally three months or more). • Are willing to share your skills with the less fortunate. • Think positively and like to work in a team. • Are ready to stay in simple living conditions. • Are willing to experience a completely different culture on the other side of the world. THEN THIS COULD BE SOMETHING FOR YOU! THE CHALLENGE Rural areas across Africa (such as Turkana, North Kenya) often have poor infrastructure, limited access to markets, very few formal job opportunities, and consequently suffer from high levels of unemployment and little opportunity for moving out of poverty. Turkana in particular has infertile soil that does not support sustainable agriculture, with the majority of food supplies having to be transported from cities several hours away. Local businesses including basket weaving, mechanical repairs and small kiosks exist, however none of these scale to provide widespread employment opportunities or meaningful wages. And yet, with around 900.000 inhabitants, Turkana holds an untapped potential of human talent with the chance of having internet access even in some of the most remote areas.
