Village Impact is looking for motivated and detail-oriented students to support our funding research and grant submission efforts. As an organization dedicated to providing education in underserved communities in Kenya, we rely on funding from grants, foundations, and corporate partnerships to drive our mission forward.

In this project, students will update and expand our list of potential funders, researching viable grant opportunities that align with our mission. With guidance and oversight from our Chief Happiness Officer, students will also assist in preparing and submitting funding applications.

This is an excellent opportunity to gain real-world experience in grant research, nonprofit funding strategies, and persuasive writing, all while contributing to a high-impact international organization.
