Online Volonteer Uganda

Mission and objectives

Agoro Community Development Association (ACDA), operating publicly as the Enabling Rural Opportunity Network (ERONet), is a women-centered grassroots organization founded on August 27, 2001, to represent and empower post-conflict and refugee-hosting communities in Lamwo District, Northern Uganda. Born from the resilience of women widowed and displaced by the LRA conflict, ERONet works to give a voice to oppressed and disadvantaged groups. Our mission focuses on three strategic pillars: (1) keeping adolescent girls in school through bursaries and menstrual hygiene support; (2) protecting women and girls through community care group protection networks and psychosocial support; and (3) strengthening community resilience through clean water access, climate-smart agriculture, and Village Savings and Loan Associations (VSLAs). We actively bridge services across both local host communities and the Palabek Refugee Settlement, which hosts over 100,000 South Sudanese refugees.

Context

ERONet is implementing its 2026–2031 Strategic Plan in a rural, post-conflict landscape where more than 60% of households live below the poverty line. Operating with a nimble, localized field team of six staff members, our digital visibility relies heavily on global virtual collaborations. For Giving Tuesday 2026, we are setting up a specialized three-volunteer workflow: one building our FundRazr storefront and one executing social media management. This Graphic Design and Multimedia assignment provides the vital visual components that tie the entire ecosystem together. The assets created by this volunteer will directly build organizational trust, tell human-centric stories, and visually elevate our call to support vulnerable women, girls, and refugees.

Task description

The Online Volunteer will be responsible for creating the complete visual identity, graphic kits, and short-form video assets required for ERONet's Giving Tuesday 2026 fundraising push. This role focuses entirely on visual asset creation rather than website layout configuration or social media scheduling. The volunteer will perform the following duties: • Visual Identity & Branding: Establish a cohesive campaign visual guide (color palette, typography, and theme styling) that integrates ERONet’s identity and resonates with global donors. • Social Media Graphic Packs: Design high-impact visual banners, headers, and post templates for a 7-to-10-day countdown campaign, explicitly highlighting data points from ERONet’s 2026–2031 Strategic Plan. • Real-Time Milestone Assets: Create clean, easily updatable fundraising tracking assets (such as progress bars, goal meters, and landmark milestone badges) to show donor impact in real time. • Photo Enhancement: Retouch, optimize, and ethically crop community field photos from Lamwo District and the Palabek Refugee Settlement to fit across various digital aspect ratios. • Video Editing & Multimedia: Stitch and edit short, high-engagement video reels or interview clips featuring field staff, community promoters, and program highlights to tell impactful stories on mobile platforms. • Campaign Kit Assembly: Compile all completed high-resolution assets into organized cloud folders for seamless deployment by our social media manager.

Volunteerism is understood as a wide range of activities undertaken of free will, for the general public good, for which monetary reward is not the principal motivating factor.
