Jobs Highlight: Head of Operations, Communications Lead needed at an NGO

The IREDE Foundation is a non-governmental organisation focused on lending a hand of Love, Joy and Hope to children living with limb loss knowing that there are no limits to their potential.

It is estimated that at least 200 million children are born with a disability or become disabled before the age of 19 with over 70% in developing countries*.

Without access to adaptation assistive tools, 90% of the children in the developing world like Nigeria may never have access to education, employment, marriage or even live a self-supportive lifestyle.

Hence, the foundation needs capable hands to help champion its mission.
