Volunteering with VSA
Volunteer Service Abroad (VSA) is not your typical volunteering agency; we are committed to building sustainable communities across the Pacific. If you’re experienced in Poultry Production and looking for an extraordinary overseas experience in the Pacific to build into your field of expertise – working collaboratively with the Archdiocese of Rabaul (Catholic Women’s Association) then read on, as we have an exciting opportunity in store for you!
Our Partner Organisation - Archdiocese of Rabaul (Catholic Women’s Association)
The Catholic Women's Association of the Archdiocese of Rabaul was established with the objectives of promoting the spiritual, emotional, cultural, and socio-economic development of women and their families. They offer life skills programmes to empower women and help them reach their potential.
The Assignment
This assignment is a partnership assignment between VSA and the Archdiocese of Rabaul (Catholic Women’s Association). In this assignment, a qualified and experienced VSA Volunteer is required to provide training on small-scale poultry production to farmers in East New Britain Province.
The training aims to enhance participants' knowledge and skills in poultry rearing, management, and marketing, ultimately improving their livelihoods and contributing to food security in the province. One of the goals is to promote local production of poultry and eggs to meet the increasing demand, which is expected to persist due to population growth.
If trained farmers apply the knowledge and skills gained and receive support from the trainer-mentor, poultry farming can significantly contribute to the Province in several ways:
* Enhancing food and nutrition security
* Providing income generation opportunities, thus reducing poverty
* Offering an affordable and nutritious source of animal protein
* Supporting the Province’s self-sufficiency in poultry production
* Encouraging and empowering more women to start poultry-based microenterprises
The Volunteer
Are you someone who wants to make a difference, have a sense of adventure and like the challenge of being outside your comfort zone? VSA Volunteers are technical experts who impart their skills and knowledge to the local community. You will need to be flexible, adaptable, resourceful, resilient with a passion for Aotearoa and the wider Pacific community.
We're looking for a volunteer with the following:
* A qualification in agriculture, animal science, or a related field
* At least 5 years of practical experience in small-scale poultry production.
* Proven track record in delivering training programs to farmers or rural communities.
* Excellent communication, interpersonal and facilitation skills.
* Knowledge and understanding of biosecurity rules and animal welfare.
