Job Vacancy at Deutsche Welthungerhilfe – Cashier
Deutsche Welthungerhilfe (WHH) was founded as the National Committee for the Freedom from Hunger Campaign of the Food and Agricultural Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) in 1962. Today, WHH is one of the largest private development organisations in Germany. As a non-profit, non‐political and non-denominational organisation WHH is committed to fight hunger and poverty in currently more than 50 countries all over the world.

Project Description
SLE 1072 EU funded WASH Self Supply Project
The project addresses the needs of the rural population of the Kenema District in Eastern Sierra Leone, which faces low access to potable water from protected sources and to sanitation / hygiene facilities. The nutrition and gender sensitive, community-led WASH self-supply project implementation approach in combination with microfinance services (e.g. savings and loan schemes) provide a promising alternative to build up local capacities for manual well drilling and sanitation facility construction. Intense awareness creation for safe water handling, sanitation and hygiene practices shall trigger behaviour change. Local partner organisations – SEND and MOPADA - will be strengthened and local technicians trained to provide in cooperation with Welthungerhilfe well drilling services, install sanitation / hygiene facilities, build up privately run small businesses in rural communities and to foster awareness creation to improve the nutrition and health status of the communities
In the case of equal suitability, ability and professional experience, female candidates are strongly encouraged
