About the Project: 

Nanhi Kali is a project in girl child education jointly run by KC Mahindra Education Trust and Naandi Foundation. The project aims to support girls from economically disadvantaged backgrounds through 10 years of schooling. Project Nanhi Kali now runs in 25 locations across 9 states, and is in the process of launching the program in the states of Odisha and Goa in the academic year 2022-23. We launched the project in Karnataka recently, and are looking for a key person to oversee the project there as well.

Job Title

  • State Head /Programme Officer – Project Nanhi Kali

Locations

  • Odisha, Goa and Karnataka

Job Requirements: 

Project Nanhi Kali relies on an entire ecosystem of partners to keep the project running; State, district and mandal education officers, head masters, teachers, parents, tutors and the extended communities we aim to serve. The state head/programme officer is therefore someone who must excel at networking and have excellent local language skills (Odiya, Kannada, Marathi, Hindi, Konkani as per given locations).

We are in the launch phase of the program in Odisha and Goa. This means hard work, smart work, relentless follow-up and attention to detail. But it also means you learn the project from the ground up and learn how a social impact project works at scale.  

Educational Qualifications and Work Experience:

  • We are looking for people with prior work experience; a minimum of 5 years for program officers.
  • Prior experience in the social sector and in the education sector are a plus, but not essential.
  • What is essential is a deep interest in the impact sector, an ability to learn quickly and work autonomously. 
  • We encourage women to apply.
