AfID is looking for a volunteer accountant for its new partner in Lesotho. Our partner is doing vital work, helping poor families to realise that change really is possible. By helping to transform 'mindsets' and by focusing on the practical potential of sustainable and organic farming methods, our partner is unleashing enormous potential. Families discover what they can do for themselves and what the land can do for them.
The impacts are extremely significant: children eat well, learn well, and families prosper. The unstinting determination of these smallholdings farmers to improve their lives and those of their neighbours – often in the face of great obstacles – is an inspiring example.
A volunteer is required for 6 months.

Cash flow forecasting – ensuring enough cash flow to maintain project completion 4. Work with Programmes, Country Director and the Finance team to ensure they communicating effectively
