Responsibilities include conducting field research, implementing conservation strategies, collaborating with global partners, and engaging in public outreach to raise awareness about biodiversity and environmental challenges.

Its strategic location along the Rift Valley further enhances its significance in preserving biodiversity and supporting sustainable environmental practices.

The ideal candidate will possess a strong commitment to the organization’s mission and demonstrate expertise in relevant fields such as project management, fundraising, advocacy, or community engagement.

  • •Never pay any amount of money — for a file, a training, a uniform, or an interview. A real employer never asks the candidate to pay.
  • •Never send a photo of your ID card, passport, or banking details before you have physically verified the employer exists.
  • •Always meet in a public place, during the day — never an isolated address, a private home, or a location you cannot verify in advance.
  • •Tell a relative or friend exactly where you are going, with whom, and at what time — and share your live location if possible.
  • •Search the company name online before going: a real business has a trace (website, reviews, other employees, an official address).
  • •A salary that is far above the market rate for the position and the city is a red flag — be extra cautious.
