Job Description
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 consortium
lead for a five-year project, “PlayMatters”, funded by the LEGO
Foundation. The PlayMatters initiative will increase play-based learning
opportunities for nearly 1 million pre-primary and primary school aged
refugee and host community children impacted by the humanitarian crises
in East Africa and living in Ethiopia, Uganda and Tanzania. This project
aims to build children’s social, emotional, cognitive, physical, and
creative skills through play in their homes, schools, and communities
and will be implemented in partnership with War Child, Plan
International, Behavioural Insights Team and Innovations for Poverty
Action.
