OVERVIEW
Building Tomorrow (BT), an international nonprofit organization, mobilizes communities in Uganda to deliver universal access to inclusive, quality education. To achieve the goal of literacy and numeracy for all, BT uses a community-powered approach that creates positive learning outcomes, accessible to all. BT is significantly growing within Uganda, in large part thanks to receiving its first U.S. federal sub-grant through USAID Uganda’s five-year Targeting the Learning Crisis (TLC) project. BT is seeking a Project Manager to lead day-to-day implementation efforts of the project, supervising all field staff to ensure effective delivery of program activities. This position requires strong management experience, a good understanding of Uganda’s education sector, and excellent communication and reporting skills to interact with diverse stakeholders.
THE ORGANIZATION
Started in 2006, BT supports community-powered learning in rural areas. Through over 500 BT Fellows and over 14,000 Community Education Volunteers, BT has enrolled over 140,000 out-of-school children and reached over 350,000 learners with our signature Roots to Rise (R2R) literacy and numeracy camps. Between offices in the USA and Uganda, BT has a full-time staff of over 230, just eight of whom work outside Uganda. BT has received funding and recognition for its innovative work from Echoing Green, Big Bang Philanthropy, Clinton Global Initiative, and Forbes Magazine.
