Cape Town School Outreach VA

I need a resourceful virtual assistant to map out and approach elementary, middle and high schools hidden in Cape Town’s poorest neighbourhoods—places where clean drinking water is scarce and support programmes rarely reach. Your first mission is desktop research: build a simple Google Sheet that lists each qualifying school with its location, main email, direct phone line and (where available) the principal’s name.

Once each entry is confirmed, you’ll craft a brief, friendly email and follow-up call to the principal or admin office. The goal of that outreach is threefold:

• introduce our small food-support initiative (we will serve 100-200 children in one morning), • identify the safest, most practical date, and • ask XXXX XXXX settlements are still without reliable drinking water so we can widen future aid.

When a school says yes, you’ll move into light event coordination—confirming the schedule, liaising with local food suppliers or community kitchens we shortlist together, and keeping me updated on any on-site help the school may need. I will join you for final approvals, but I expect you to handle day-to-day communication.

Deliverables I will use to sign off the job:

1. Research spreadsheet with at least 15 qualified schools, complete contact details and notes on water scarcity.
2. Email/phone log showing outreach results for each school.
3. Confirmed event plan for one school, including proposed date, headcount and food supplier quote.

A few ground rules:

• Do not contact schools in developed city areas; stay within underserved zones only.
• If any location seems unsafe for visitors or staff, flag it immediately and pause planning.
• Keep correspondence clear, polite and in good English.

To apply, start your message with the word WATER, introduce yourself briefly and attach a sample of Five schools you have already found that fit the criteria. I look forward to working with someone organised, reliable and genuinely motivated to help these communities.
