World University Service of Canada Communication & Graphic Designer Jobs in Kenya

Background: WUSC – World University Service of Canada – is a leading Canadian non-profit organization in international development, committed to providing education, employment and empowerment opportunities that improve the lives of millions of disadvantaged youth around the world.

In Kenya, WUSC is working in partnership with Windle International Kenya (WIK) to implement the Kenya Equity in Education Project (KEEP), which operates from April 2017 to March 2022.

KEEP II will create conditions for learning that will allow approximately 29,000 marginalized girls from Kakuma and Dadaab refugee camps and the surrounding host communities (Turkana and Garissa counties) to stay in school as long as possible, attain at least functional literacy and numeracy, be safe and supported at school and at home, and make successful transitions at critical life stages.

KEEP II will deliver significant results in terms of improved learning outcomes (literacy and numeracy); increased numbers of girls remaining in school and transitioning to the next grade (attendance and transition rates); and a positive supportive environment that values and promotes girls’ learning (sustainable changes in community behavior).

KEEP will promote these outcomes through a wide range of complementary activities including teacher training; provision of remedial education classes; secondary school infrastructure improvement; conditional cash transfers to highly marginalized families; life skills camps for girls; multi-media community engagement strategies; and training for school governance bodies.

WUSC is looking for a Communication & Graphic Design Consultant to support the development of visual messages for various target groups.

In addition, the consultant will support WUSC in creative design to layout teaching material with the aim of making them more user-friendly, fit-for-purpose,
