Organisation: Lively Minds. UK Registered Charity 1125512
Position: Grants & Project Support Officer
Reports to: Chief Executive Officer
Location: Jinja, Uganda (with some travel to Ghana and UK)
Hours: Full time
Contract: Permanent
About us
Over 250 million children under 5 globally do not get the early childhood care and education (“ECCE”) they need, leading to poor health, poor education, lost life opportunities and poverty.
Lively Minds is an award-winning charity tackling this crisis in rural Ghana & Uganda. We believe that one of the main barriers to ECCE is that parents in remote resource-poor villages lack the information, education and aspiration to provide basic and affordable opportunities for their children.
We have developed an innovative behaviour change programme that empowers uneducated and marginalised Mothers in resource-poor communities to run educational Play Schemes for pre-schoolers and to provide better home-based care, using cheap local resources. Not only does this result in positive outcomes for child development, but also has positive impacts for the Mothers too.
These are exciting times for Lively Minds. Having proven the success of our programme at small-scale, we are now in the process of making a step-change and scaling rapidly.
