Field Facilitator

EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY

Floresta is a Christian organization and a member of the Plant With Purpose Global Partnership. Floresta has just begun its work by targeting a few key watersheds in the Viphya Plateau region of northern Malawi because of its steep terrain, deforestation, and level of poverty. The heart of our mission is restoring relationships—between people and the planet, between people and one another, and between people and the Creator. Broken relationships are at the root of oppression, inequality, and poverty. At Floresta, we believe in the inherent value, equality, and agency of all people. We work with people as partners, not projects. Floresta is currently looking for a Community Facilitator who pledge to God to serve communities with respect and establish partnerships to restore the environment and improve the economic stability of the people of Malawi as they create a brighter future, Ecclesiastes 4:9; Isaiah 40:31; Philippians 2:4.
