The experience

We need a grant writer, fundraiser and/or social media content creator to help our epilepsy foundation! We provide medical care, support and education about epilepsy. Access to necessary medical care can be a struggle for epileptic individuals in Nairobi, and harmful misconceptions tying epilepsy to demonic possession are prolific in many communities. Help our NGO get the funding and awareness it needs to expand our reach even further!
