Kirjeldus
The volunteer will collaborate with ASPEm Bolivia in Cochabamba, supporting individual and group training processes for women in situations of vulnerability, including women with disabilities. The role will be carried out in coordination with ASPEm and local partner organizations such as Tukuy Pacha, which contribute to inclusive development with a focus on priority populations through strategic, community-based actions. Their core mission is to ensure that processes are inclusive and accessible to the most excluded and marginalized population. Key responsibilities include: supporting training workshops, providing individual accompaniment and facilitating group activities for women, also with disabilities; assisting in data collection and systematization; and contributing to the development of training and awareness-raising materials on gender equity and social inclusion. The volunteering takes place Monday to Friday (30–40 hours per week, excluding travel time).
