JOB DETAILS:
Background
The Flaviana Matata Foundation (FMF) is a Not-For-Profit entity that works to ensure girls and young women have the resources and opportunities they need to complete their education, find employment, and/or start their own businesses—ultimately helping them to fulfil their dreams. Flaviana Matata, a renowned model, businesswoman, and philanthropist, founded FMF at the end of 2011 because of her passion and deep commitment to using education as a tool to transform the lives of girls in Tanzania.
Growing up in Shinyanga, a city in northern Tanzania, Flaviana’s family always prioritized the importance of education, especially for girls. Flaviana created FMF as her way of giving back to her community. FMF has grown from initially only providing scholarships to pay for school fees, to supporting the multiple needs of girls so that they can feel safe throughout their entire education, and have the skills and support they need to get a job or start a business.
Since 2012, FMF has reached over 5,000 students in Tanzania. This has included providing students with needed school supplies as well as renovating and refurbishing school infrastructure, (e.g. classrooms, toilets, installing clean water systems and building teachers’ housing). Other accomplishments include distributing toiletry boxes to girls to use during their menstrual cycle and purchasing desks and chairs for all students. FMF has also been able to provide 25 girls with full scholarships to stay in school and the first class of girls graduated from high-school in June, 2018. The next phase of FMF will be to ensure that these same young women have the support they need to go to university or vocational school.

The Role
FMF is searching for a full-time team member that can support its programs in Tanzania, building on experience and knowledge from FMF’s partnership with educational facilities in Tanzania. This will involve several areas of work that closely integrate with the Flaviana Matata business side and other global FMF systems:

• Assist to promote a results-based approach to monitoring and evaluation, emphasizing results and impacts of the foundation’s projects to support girls and young women.
• Writing of proposals and keeping an eye on funding opportunities to support the foundation’s initiatives.
• Identify potential donors, and schedule meetings to present the project for donor’s support.
