Disability Africa works in partnership with locally led organisations in The Gambia, Kenya, Uganda, Zambia and Eswatini. Together, we create opportunities for disabled children and young people to participate in community life on an equal basis, while working to change attitudes and challenge the exclusion they face.

Our work is grounded in the Social Model of Disability. We focus on removing the social and attitudinal barriers that exclude disabled children and young people, and we reject pity-based approaches to fundraising and communication.

• Maintain accurate information in our fundraising CRM and use data to help inform priorities.

• Contribute to fundraising campaigns, donor communications and materials in collaboration with colleagues and volunteers.

• Support the development and testing of new fundraising opportunities and approaches.

• The confidence to approach and build relationships with donors and prospective supporters.

• Good analytical and numerical skills, with confidence working with data and budgets.

• Curiosity, initiative and a willingness to test new ideas.

• Alignment with Disability Africa’s ethos and the Social Model of Disability, including our partnership-based approach, an awareness of the colonial dynamics that continue to shape the sector, and a rejection of pity-based charity narratives.

WHAT WE OFFER

• A four-day working week, with 28 hours worked from Monday to Thursday.

• A 12-month fixed-term contract, with the possibility of extension.
