JOB DETAILS:
Christ’s Hope International (CHI) is a Christian organisation that cares for orphaned and vulnerable children empowering them to break the cycles of extreme poverty, AIDS, and spiritual brokenness through family-based care and discipleship in Jesus Christ. We support over 2000 children in 7 countries in Africa, through a community and family-based model. Children are best when in families and that’s where we keep them. However, families often lack adequate support to provide for the children in their care and that’s where we come in. Through our unique approach and in combination with key players in the community, we screen and select the neediest of families and through our program, their children benefit from a holistic care-model that provides schooling, health care, tutoring, life-skills, and emotional and social support. Children get the opportunity to become CYCLEBREAKERS and transform their families which extends to the entire community.

From a humble beginning in a little town in Namibia in 2003, to preserving families across sub-Saharan Africa, Christ’s Hope is breaking the cycle of AIDS, poverty and spiritual brokenness through programs that provide holistic, Christ-centred care.

Christ’s Hope International started its activities in Tanzania in 2010 and currently cares for 250 children in Mwanza. Our work is concentrated in and around Mwanza. A team of roughly 20 staff members works relentlessly day in and day out to provide the best possible care to our children.

We invite strong leaders that are uncompromisingly Biblical and unashamedly Christian and who have a passion for God and His children to apply for this position. Acquired skills in management and leadership are essential with experience in senior leadership positions. Strong communications skills, people skills and spiritual maturity are critical to this position.

It’s essential to have an active and growing personal relationship with Christ, to be an active member of a local church and to be willing to sacrifice self in the service of the Lord.
