Enabling Women in Africa to Give Birth Safely
Globally, every day, 786 women die trying to have a baby. 70% occur in Africa, the vast majority avoidable. Deaths and obstetric fistulas occur in Africa simply because many women don’t have access to safe medical care. Barbara May Foundation has responded to this need by facilitating free and safe care for poor and vulnerable women during childbirth and for those already suffering from complications arising from childbirth.
Established in 2009 by Medical Director, Dr Andrew Browning AM, an obstetrician and gynaecologist and one of the world’s leading fistula surgeons, Barbara May Foundation supports hospitals in Ethiopia, Tanzania, South Sudan, and Northern Uganda via their implementing partners. Receiving no government funding, Barbara May Foundation relies solely on philanthropic support. We now seek a Senior Philanthropy Manager who will be responsible for leading and growing the Foundation’s major giving portfolio, building lasting commitment to the Foundation’s long-term sustainability.
A self-motivated fundraising professional with humility and a deep intellectual and cultural curiosity, you bring a combination of strong relationship management skills, strategic major gift fundraising expertise, and the ability to convey the impact of giving on maternal health outcomes in Africa. Fundamental to success is the ability to navigate a small but complex organisation and a passion for the work of the Foundation.
