Child’s i Foundation Video Producer Jobs in Uganda
Child’s i Foundation (Child’s i) is a Uganda based charity with an international reputation for advocating child rights and creating community-based alternatives to orphanages. A small non-profit with a big impact, we work with governments, national partners and our worldwide network of supporters to highlight the harm and cost of orphanages in Uganda and globally.
We’re helping to reimagine the whole child protection and care system, repurpose orphanages and rebuild services at the heart of communities that are designed to strengthen and support birth, foster and adoptive families. Because every child needs a loving family, we are Child’s i.
We are seeking a highly motivated Producer to support our Communications, Advocacy and Fundraising team.

Video Scripts Development Specification
The videos should feel positive, optimistic and authentic. Script lines must reflect a final product that is educative, easy
to understand, inspirational, effect positive mind-set change and must influence and attract more partners.
Key Principles of script development
Be succinct. Phrase every point in a way that uses as a few words as possible (less to read on the screen)
Avoid jargon. Imagine you are explaining to a child- use simple words, easy to understand by anyone.
Add a touch of light-heartedness where appropriate. The script shouldn’t feel too functional, dry or serious. It should feel conversational.
