FINANCE AND OPERATIONS ASSOCIATE

by Unknown  |  at  3:39 PM

Organization: Gardens for Health International
Location: United States
Eligible Citizenship: All Non-US Citizens
Application Code: US08-Int
Job Function: Finance / Budgeting, Operations

About

Gardens for Health International (GHI) works in Rwanda to provide lasting agricultural solutions to chronic malnutrition by:
  • Partnering with health centers to integrate agriculture and comprehensive health education into the treatment of malnutrition
  • Advocating for policies and programs that include nutrition-focused agriculture in the treatment of malnutrition
  • Providing technical assistance to partners interested in adapting our model and methodology for their communities
We currently partner with 18 government-run health centers across two districts of Rwanda, helping an average of 2,160 families each year to break the cycle of malnutrition by providing them with the knowledge and inputs they need to grow healthy food. At the same time, recognizing that seeds alone can’t solve malnutrition, our unique approach combines targeted agricultural assistance, comprehensive health education, and regular home visits to ensure that families receive the resources, education, and support to keep their children healthy over the long term.
Our work is having a tangible impact on the families we serve: one year after enrolling in our program, 71% of children in one cohort were at a healthy weight. Not only are children getting healthier, but the consumption patterns of entire families are changing. On one survey, 88% of families reported that they were eating 4 or more types of food each day – much of it food that grew in their own gardens.
