ROLE Foundation Job Vacancy: Fundraising Consultant, Bali - Denpasar

R.O.L.E. provides free education, skills training programs and grassroots community assistance to alleviate poverty and work towards environmental sustainability. The NGO started in 2007 as an environmental learning and conservation project, working with local communities to create eco-friendly jobs and to revitalize coastal and rural environments.
