Job description

**About Us**

Founded in 2007, KHULA Education is an award-winning South African NGO working in partnership with rural schools and underserved communities in deep rural South Africa to ensure children and youth can access a quality education and economic opportunity.

Over the past 17 years, KHULA has transformed schools that were previously failing into schools that compete at the national level; supported hundreds of young people to access tertiary education opportunities; and helped hundreds more on the path to employment. Each year, we support over 6,500 children, youth and more than 300 teachers.

**About the Role**

We are seeking to recruit a creative and ambitious Fundraising and Communications Officer.

- **Fundraising innovation**:assisting in the development of creative campaigns to increase donations/recruit lapsed donors, developing products and offerings.
- **Financial management and admin**: maintaining our donor database and contributing to fundraising budgets and forecasts.

- Experience of community and events fundraising, including promoting events and supporting participants.
