TERJA hosts monthly workshops in the Houston community focused on Menstrual Health for girls and young women. These workshops address crucial topics, including menstrual health equity, period poverty, sustainable solutions, and breaking the silence, shame, and stigma associated with menstruation. Participants watch videos and listen to stories from girls and young women in Kenya who are combating period poverty by creating reusable sanitary pads using local materials. The workshops include discussions on TERJA’s reusable sanitary pads, which are made from organic, biodegradable materials, and explore how sustainable, eco-friendly solutions can help alleviate period poverty. A local tailor will demonstrate how to create reusable pads and underwear using both sewing machines and traditional hand sewing techniques. Following the demonstration, attendees participate in hands-on activities, where they create their own reusable pads, underwear, and bags, with ongoing support provided.

Position Overview
The Assistant Client Care Manager plays a pivotal role in supporting Project C.U.R.E.'s mission by ensuring strong relationships with partners and sponsors throughout each step of the shipping container project process. From the moment a partner engages with Project C.U.R.E. to the delivery of donated medical supplies, the Assistant Client Care Manager ensures smooth communication, timely updates, and an exceptional experience. This role supports the Executive Director (Client Care Manager) and interacts regularly with the logistics team to keep projects on track and fulfill all partner and sponsor expectations.   Although this position is primarily remote, we would ask that you come to our Spring Branch warehouse for initial training and then occasionally thereafter.

Included is a step-by-step guide outlining the project process to aid in training and orientation.

Key Responsibilities

1.         Initial Contact and Request Submission: Partners submit a request for donated medical supplies.

2.         Verification and Feasibility: Project C.U.R.E. reviews the feasibility of shipping supplies and arranges a consultation with the partner to discuss the process, expectations, and requirements.

3.         Cargo Consultation: Conduct a consultation with the partner to verify critical details such as necessary equipment, facility readiness, and required funds, and to clarify any questions.

4.         Partnership Plan Agreement: After the consultation, the partner reviews and signs a Partnership Plan. While not legally binding, this document ensures mutual understanding and alignment on project expectations and responsibilities.

5.         Assessment Invoice: Once the Partnership Plan is signed, the Client Care Manager requests an assessment invoice from the Assessment Manager (Tresena). The invoice is sent to the partner, and upon payment confirmation, introductions are made to continue the assessment process.

6.         Assessment and Facility Evaluation: Tresena schedules an on-site assessment, with the in-country partner responsible for logistics support. The assessor evaluates the facility and completes a report based on findings.

7.         Shipping Invoice and Payment: Following the assessment, Project C.U.R.E. issues a shipping invoice. Once paid, it is logged in the database, and the logistics team prepares the shipping manifest.

8.         Manifest Review and Modifications: The partner reviews the shipping manifest, requesting any necessary modifications to ensure alignment with their needs.

9.         Shipping and Delivery Coordination: The logistics team arranges shipment, selecting an appropriate warehouse and setting a loading date. The container is then shipped to the specified port or facility.

10.   Final Confirmation and Story Collection: After the container arrives, partners are encouraged to provide photos and stories to share the impact of the supplies. A follow-up assessment may occur the following year to gather additional data and evaluate ongoing impact.
