Database Assistant

Link Ethiopia and The Kindu Trust are two small charities dedicated to helping Ethiopian communities escape poverty through education and improved living conditions. We each run child sponsorship schemes which are growing and we currently use simple Access databases to store all information about the sponsors and the sponsored children.

We are seeking a volunteer with strong database skills to help us move both of our databases to the next level now that the amount of information they store is growing. This would be a short-term project and hours would be flexible. 
Link Ethiopiaâs current database is a simple Access database with a few tables detailing sponsor details, child details, school details etc and a few queries bringing this information together in a useful way. We are looking to improve the usefulness of the database, especially to create something allowing us to track correspondence with sponsors and creating tasks linked to sponsors.

The Kindu Trustâs current database contains information on around 1,000 supporters and 500 beneficiaries, and includes financial information. We want to improve financial tracking information, simplify the user interface and set up useful exports to facilitate date analysis.

Person Specification:

⢠        Strong database skills
⢠        Experience with Microsoft Access
⢠        Good organisation and ability to work independently
⢠        Share Link Ethiopiaâs vision and mission

Desirable:

⢠        Experience with accounts/accounting database
