Volunteer Content copywriter/marketer (Project)
Mineke Foundation in Liberia focuses on the themes of education and entrepreneurship. Over the past few years we have completed a number of major projects and moved to a new location. In the meantime we are also starting a few new projects.
Our Dutch and English websites lag behind these developments. There are still old projects on it, the presentation could be better and new projects are missing. In addition, the websites are not SEO-friendly.
We are looking for a content copywriter/marketer with solid SEO knowledge who can help improve our online presence . Someone who, based on our objectives and with our target groups in mind, knows how to find the right words to touch, inspire and activate people. You also know how to use testimonials to make the impact of our projects visible.
In addition, you know how to create the connection between image and text on the website. You do this in collaboration with our board and the volunteers involved, including our part-time photographer/social media volunteer in Liberia.
When do you fit well in our team?
If you:
- Have a hands-on attitude
- Are a self-starter & independent worker
- You speak Dutch fluently and your English is good
- Have a learning attitude and are willing to learn from our team in Liberia as well as transfer knowledge to them
- Good at advising, coordinating, organizing and collaborating
- Interested and able to work effectively in a small remote first organization with big ambitions and a small wallet
- Want to use your skills and experience to make an impact in one of the poorest countries in the world
Good to know
Mineke Foundation consists of 2 organizations:
- The Liberian local NGO in Liberia that we internally call MF LIB. MF LIB is a fully accredited local NGO in Liberia, as well as a fully accredited vocational school and primary school.
- The Dutch ANBI foundation that we internally call MF NL. MF NL is the support foundation of MF LIB (fundraising, communication, etc.) and also takes care of the knowledge transfer and development of MF LIB.
The board of MF NL is a cooperative board. That means they are active as volunteers with a few extra tasks. Board and volunteers in the Netherlands meet twice a year. There are also 2 times in the year when MF NL has group meetings via Zoom with MF LIB.
In addition, you will have (digital) coordination moments with 'your' volunteer(s) and/or team members in Liberia.
How much time does this take?
Can be arranged at your own discretion, but we would like to complete this project within six months.
What do we offer you?
- The opportunity to make a positive impact in the lives of children, young people and women in one of the poorest countries in the world
- A pioneering role in the further development and professionalization of a distinguished foundation
- Working together with a motivated and committed team
- An international network of professionals
Interested?
We would like to meet you!

About Mineke Foundation
Mineke Foundation works in Liberia. Our goal is to help people - especially young people and women - to become economically self-reliant. We focus on education and entrepreneurship. We have three projects:
== The Damiefa School offers affordable private education from kindergarten through the first three years of high school. We use the national Liberian curriculum, supplemented with an Art Education program developed by Dutch/American teachers and a Reading Comprehension program specifically developed for Liberia by American teachers. Our ambition is to grow the school into a full-fledged high school.
== Our Women’s Club offers an entrepreneurship program and a social education program. The entrepreneurship program includes short vocational courses, business training & coaching, and microloans. The educational program offers monthly workshops on topics such as (reproductive) health, women’s rights, leadership and sexual violence against women. There is also a savings club with peer-to-peer lending.
== The Resource Center is a multifunctional space with a small library/computer room where employability training for young people is also given. Before Covid, we also offered digital skills training to surrounding schools and (young) adults in the area. We will offer this again in due course.

Mineke Foundation is an award-winning foundation known for its quality and professionalism. We are an accredited local Liberian NGO, vocational school and private school. A small, committed and motivated local team carries out our projects in Liberia.
The Dutch foundation consists of international volunteers and supports our team in Liberia, including fundraising, social media & communication and knowledge transfer. Both teams work closely together.
Our fun and enthusiastic volunteers will make you feel at home quickly! We all work from home and have regular Zoom calls, also with our team in Liberia. Volunteers living in the Netherlands usually meet twice a year. Good to know: we speak both Dutch and English, but usually speak English during calls & meetings.
Mineke Foundation was founded in 2009 by Tonia Dabwe to build on the work her parents started in Liberia in the late 1960s. The foundation is named after Tonia's Dutch mother who has been missing since the civil war in Liberia.
