Project Ropa is seeking dedicated individuals to join our Board of Directors and help shape the future of our organization. As a small nonprofit, we work tirelessly to provide clothing and hygiene essentials to people in need while advocating for clothing to be classified as essential by the government. Despite the critical nature of our work, we are often overlooked by traditional funders and do not qualify for substantial government funding, unlike many organizations within the continuum of care. With a waitlist of 65 organizations at 87 locations requesting supplies, the need for our services is overwhelming.

Clothing is essential for dignity, health, and opportunity—it is a basic need that affects every aspect of a person’s life. Yet, as clothing is not currently classified as essential, access remains a challenge for many. By joining our Board, you can play a pivotal role in driving awareness, securing resources, and advocating for systemic change. Your expertise and leadership can help us expand our impact and ensure that everyone has access to these fundamental necessities. Join us in creating a more equitable and compassionate community.

Board members must be able to commit to attend at least four one hour board meetings a year and fundraiser events which are 1-2 times a year. Board meetings are done virtually.

- Raise awareness
- Engage donors and fundraise
- Plan events

The families in Dankpen Prefecture in the rural area of Togo, West Africa face a water crisis. For years, these communities of nearly 5000 indigenous families in the community have struggled with access to clean drinking water. In many parts of Togo, access to Clean Drinking Water remains a significant challenge, particularly in rural areas. While urban areas may have better access to piped water systems, rural communities often rely on surface water sources such as rivers, streams, and unprotected wells, which can be contaminated and unsafe for consumption. The impact is severe on women and girls who work long miles daily to collect contaminated water, missing school, work, and productive activities.
According to UN and UNICEF, 43% of rural Togo lacks access to clean water; and 1 in 5 girls drop out of school due to water-related responsibilities. Water crisis contributes to waterborne diseases such as cholera, typhoid fever, and diarrhea in Togo. These diseases pose a significant public health burden and contribute to high rates of illness and death, especially among children under five years.
Our goal is to:
Drill another solar-powered well proven to provide reliable access to water in Dankpen Prefecture. This time, in the village of BOUGABOU, ensuring access to reliable safe drinking water for 1500 indigenous people and reducing the burden on women and girls walking long miles to fetch unsafe water.
Implement community-led water management to ensure sustainability, educate on proper handwashing techniques to help reduce the prevalence of waterborne diseases, and improve community health and economic outcomes.
This project is very important and impactful because efforts to bring clean water to vulnerable communities in rural Africa change everything! Not only the community will have access to clean water to drink, cook, or for everyday uses, but it will also relieve the burden on women and girls who walk long miles to fetch water to have time for school and other productive activities. Additionally, access to clean water can prevent diseases, and improve community health and economic outcomes, in BOUGABOU village.
Womens Health First (WHF) is especially seeking volunteer individuals with the ability to think strategically and be dedicated to WHF’s mission and purpose of improving the community through women’s health promotion. Specific responsibilities include increasing awareness and support of WHF’s strategic direction and fund development responsibilities. We need Volunteers with the ability to help design and run a successful Social Media Campaign and Email Marketing Campaign titled “Bring Life-Changing Water to Rural Togo” on Facebook, TikTok, and others… to help achieve our goal of providing access to clean water to BOUGABOU village, in Togo-Africa.
Thank you for your guidance and support!

Royal National Children’s SpringBoard Foundation is the UK’s leading bursary charity providing children from under-served communities and from the care system opportunities to attend independent schools.

As a charity working with and for young people we are dedicated to ensure the young people we support are involved in decision making and strategy setting, the 'young people's voice' is very relevant and important. To enable this participation we have convened a Youth Advisory Board to ask questions such as ‘how was it for you’ ‘how can we do it better’ ‘how can we engage you more’.

We would be very grateful to get some insight and advice from someone who has knowledge of customer insights or customer/marketing to help us work more efficiently and better be able to engage the young people constructively. To set up feedback loops and a Youth Advisory Board that feels invested and involved.

Royal National Children’s SpringBoard Foundation is the UK’s leading bursary charity providing children from under-served communities and from the care system opportunities to attend independent schools.

This opportunity is to provide weekly, monthly, or quarterly support (depending on time available) to our communications team consisting of one full time employee with a one day a week focus on comms, alongside a freelancer ‘SpringBoarder’ alum who works on Wednesdays. The focus would be to recommend communications strategies to support maintaining and improving the existing online presence, including website and social media content. (I would say one day a month would be ideal). This would take place online or in person depending on where the volunteer is based.

This would be incredibly valuable support to the team who are dedicating as much time as they can on the communications, however because of resource constraints we are aware that we could achieve much more with your help and expertise!
