NGO engaging young people through education

Affordable Accommodation

Siem Reap, Cambodia

3-6 weeks

Our partner supports local entrepreneurs setting up businesses in the field of education. They aim to empower individuals and organisations to take responsibility for themselves and their futures, their families and their goals. They are engaging young people through education.

Our partner has 8 learning centres providing core classes in English and IT and additional key academic and life skills: this activity brings in income for the centres. Our partner would now like to diversify their income sources further, establishing further programmes to become self-sufficient and independent.

You will be supporting the Country Manager and Program Support Officer, neither of whom has a financial background. You will begin with an internal review of their existing accounting procedures, system and controls across the different centres and head office, which is located next to their Siem Reap learning centre. You will be assessing the resources and capacity of the team and making and implementing the appropriate recommendations for best practice.

They are currently using a simple excel-base system to record income and expenditure. The Country Manager feels the tools and procedures used across the centres can be streamlined and made more uniform. You will be providing training and clear documentation for any new procedures or tools developed to ensure sustainability. You will be designing a system which can later be rolled out to the other and future learning centres in Cambodia.
