Job Title: Fundraising Intern

Location: Remote work flexibility available

About Us:
The Africa Center for Health Systems and Gender Justice is a Pan-African social impact startup that
merges social entrepreneurship with a commitment to advancing health equity and addressing social
inequalities. Through innovative strategies, the Center challenges and transforms policies, practices,
and investment patterns to promote gender justice within health systems. Health and gender equity in
health systems, as we see it, ensures that everyone has a fair and just opportunity to attain their full
health potential, without being disadvantaged or excluded due to systemic barriers.

We work in collaboration with community-based organisations, advocates, and coalitions to


strengthen capacity and empower communities to reshape the systems that have created these
inequities. Our partnerships include public health practitioners and grassroots organisations, focusing
on amplifying the voices and experiences of historically marginalised and underrepresented groups.
Through these collaborations, we develop tools, frameworks, and strategies that promote effective
prevention, gender justice, and health equity. Our team, drawing from both personal and professional
expertise, plays a vital role in creating gender transformative equity-driven solutions that enhance
community health, safety, and overall well-being.
