Context

Contribution to Objectives & Background:

This assignment directly supports Rousto Charity’s core mission to promote the social, economic, intellectual, and informational development of cities and districts in Tajikistan, specifically by empowering youth and women. To fund and scale our local community projects, we are participating in the GivingTuesday 2026 crowdfunding campaign on GlobalGiving (December 1–2, 2026).

The volunteer’s contribution will bridge our digital communication gap, allowing us to build an international online presence, tap into GlobalGiving's $500,000 incentive pool, and secure sustainable resources for our grassroots initiatives.

What the Volunteer Is Expected to Know:

• Target Audience: International donors and global networks unfamiliar with Tajikistan but passionate about women and youth empowerment.
• Our Environment: We operate at a grassroots level directly within local communities in Tajikistan. Digital materials, project photos, and impact data will be provided to the volunteer by our core team.
• Campaign Focus: The primary goal is driving unique donor contributions (up to $2,500 per donor) during the 36-hour event to trigger matching funds on GlobalGiving.
