About The Yoba for Life Foundation Introduction Application Project tasks Every year millions of people in resource-poor countries suffer from malnutrition and diarrhea. Making their own Yoba® will enable people to live a healthier life and build up their country. Probiotic yoghurt can be a cheap and effective tool to improve the health of people in resource poor countries. The Yoba for Life foundation aims to introduce probiotics through local yoghurt factories in Africa. In this way the Yoba for Life concept contributes to improving health and wealth of people and local communities where self-employment is the core of existence.
Are you interested in this innovative concept, do you have an entrepreneurial spirit and do you have experience and affinity with food technology? Then you can help us expand the Yoba for Life project in Uganda. In this challenging six month internship, you will work with a small factory in rural Uganda to introduce and evaluate Africa’s
first probiotic yoghurt called Yoba®. You will work on a voluntary basis with support of the Yoba for Life Foundation. A daily fee of 10 USD will be provided by Yoba for Life as a contribution to cost of living. Your airplane ticket will be refunded, up to a maximum of 900 USD*, when the project has been executed successfully. Project related expenses, when required for successfully carrying out the project, will be compensated by the Yoba for Life Foundation on a case by case basis.
A personal laptop is required. Access to internet is available through the mobile telephony network by means of a ‘dongle’
.
Working and living conditions in this project are challenging, and the local factory staff may not have the same educational background as you have. Production methods in the small- scale yoghurt factories can be primitive and the introduction of probiotics in the daily routine will require improvisation. The accommodation will be in (simple) guesthouses and can be organized by yourself, or via the paid services of www.counterparttravels.com .
Basic costs of living may vary between 8-15 USD/day depending on the location of the guest house. Before departure the project leader will be briefed by the Yoba for Life Foundation about details of the project. During the project every two weeks Skype conferences are held with Yoba for Life. Local support during the internship can be facilitated by staff from SYPO in Mukono,

* Volunteers are encouraged to facilitate their own funding via their own Network, universities, employers, or sponsors. Conditions Yüklə 21,56 Kb. Dostları ilə paylaş:
