Deadline: 31-Aug-20
Hivos East Africa is seeking to change the Domestic Workers (DW) sector in Kenya through funding an organization with experience in elevating DW wages, job opportunities, rights, voice and protection. In order to address these issues, they would like to use ICT as an enabler.

With smart projects in the right places, they work towards more open and green societies.
They invite interested applicants to submit a proposal that will provide a solution to the listed social issues in domestic work.

- Guide DWs on how to protect them and report abuse in their work place.

- The ICT solution should have a marketing plan for sensitizing the public through a product launch and an aggressive marketing campaign.
- Plan for an App & USSD infrastructure to accommodate non-smart phone users.
