Supporting in emergencies
It’s often difficult to predict what may happen in the field in which we operate. In the last couple of years there have been wars erupting, fires breaking out in camps and project buildings, violence and unrest in the areas our partners operate in, and projects closing down. Therefore, we often need emergency admin support. If you have spare time and would be happy to step up and support when Indigo responds to emergencies we would love to hear from you.
