Location: Virtual/Remote work till mid-2021, based out of Bangalore thereafter

 The Nourishing Schools Foundation is on a mission to develop young changemakers who can take charge of their own nutrition and that of their communities. The broad approach is to provide a toolkit (a box of games and activities) that enables schools to involve children in tackling malnutrition. We collect data before and after rolling out the toolkit in schools, to assess the needs of our target groups and to monitor impact. We have partnered with organizations such as Lend-A-Hand India, Swayam Shikshan Prayog and Farm2Food Foundation to roll out our programme in Maharashtra, Assam & Rajasthan, covering over 200 schools in India, reaching over 40,000 schoolchildren. We have also piloted our programme in 10 schools in Nigeria with UNFIRE. The data analysis and impact assessment consultant will get the opportunity to work with large data sets and discover insights about health, nutrition and related topics.
