Events Assistant / Fundraising Assistant

When a baby in an orphanage cries nobody comes to comfort them. Soon they learn not to cry and instead internalise their pain, causing lifelong mental damage. Our organisation believes passionately that children need families. We are working to be the catalyst for the global elimination of institutional care of children. Join us and be part of this global movement.
