The Children\u2019s Radio Foundation is looking for an experienced Fundraising Consultant to grow our visibility, impact, and financial resources in South Africa. This person will be responsible for identifying funding streams, initiating introductions, and building relationships with prospective foundations, corporations, and individual donors. Proven success in securing major contributions from a variety of sources is essential, in addition to extensive knowledge of the South African philanthropic landscape.<\/p>\n

The Children\u2019s Radio Foundation<\/strong><\/p>\n

We train high school-age youth to become reporters who broadcast their stories and experiences on community radio stations in six countries across Africa. Our youth reporters take on issues that affect young people in their community: access to education and health services, gender and power, LGBTI issues and human rights, employment and opportunity, climate change and the environment. Speaking in local languages and in a youth-\u00adfriendly style, they interview community members, host debates, and bring out local perspectives in their weekly youth-\u00adtargeted radio programs. Our work uses youth involvement in radio to create opportunities for dialogue, skill building, and advancing human rights, by training and mentoring a new generation of broadcasters and thought leaders across Africa.<\/p>\n
