The two host organisations where the placements will be based are:

2.   Healing and Rebuilding Our Communities (HROC) in Bujumbura, and you will spend the year supporting a grassroots organization that brings people together for community based trauma recovery and reconciliation in Burundi.

These posts are open to anyone committed to the values of the Religious Society of Friends.  You must be adaptable, culturally sensitive, a French-speaker and able to work as part of a small team and on your own initiative.  Transferable skills in administration and communication are essential, as is a desire to develop your career in the field of peace and conflict transformation.  A modest maintenance and housing allowance will be provided.
