Who we are
Lyra in Africa is a grass roots charity delivering programs in Southern Tanzania. We believe in the power of education to help end poverty. We work to equip youth, focusing on girls to drive systematic change, and create a positive multiplier effect throughout their rural communities.
In 2021, Lyra is taking a refreshed look at its social media platforms, to see how we can provide more engaging content and encourage more supporters. Lyra in Africa is looking for an enthusiastic and tenacious individual who will work directly with the small team in the UK to help us with this social media refresh. We are looking for someone with bags of energy, creative ideas, combined with meticulous attention to detail.
The Lyra in Africa Senior Management team is committed to nurturing future talent and will help the successful individual to build their skills, provide one to one support and feedback to help the individual grow. We will also provide a reference upon completion of the assignment, and share advice of how to step into and build your career in the International Development sector.
