Job Description
Background
The
International Rescue Committee (IRC) responds to the world’s worst
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
from war or disaster. At work today in over 40 countries and 22 U.S.
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 lead education agency for a number of projects designed to
increase access to quality education for children in Nyarugusu,
Mtendeli, and Nduta refugee camps.
