CMMB
Project Assistant
Location: Siaya
We
believe in a world in which every human life is valued, and health and human
dignity are shared by all.
We
believe that access to quality healthcare is a basic human right. For more than
100 years, we have worked with global partners to deliver locally sustainable,
quality healthcare solutions to women, children and their communities. We’re
ready to make it 100 more.
We
believe change starts with her.
We work tirelessly for women’s and children’s health because they are disproportionately affected by illness and poverty. We know that healthy, educated, and empowered women are better able to raise healthy, educated, and confident children, and that communities depend on their livelihoods. We’re making an impact – learn more.
Building
around a new CHAMPS (CHildren And Mother PartnershipS) model, CMMB will work at
both the
community and clinical levels in these targeted communities to strengthen
health services and address the leading causes of maternal and child death.
In
addition, CMMB will expand its volunteer program to strengthen health care
delivery in CHAMPS-supported facilities and will engage with the pharmaceutical
industry to help meet the needs of CHAMPS communities and facilities.
CMMB
is committed to learning and evolving in order to successfully achieve impact
in its strategy and will have strong vertical and horizontal team structures in
alignment to the global strategy in order to encourage accountability,
communication, and effective project management.
We
believe in people.
We
strive to live out our core values of collaboration, love, excellence and
respect every day. We provide our employees with a competitive salary and a
meaningful benefits package, with opportunities to learn and grow. We
especially encourage all persons of diverse backgrounds to apply. Read more
