Trustee with Financial Background

Throw A Starfish

We are looking to recruit some new trustees to help lead the charity forward.

Our main focus for this year is support for autistic children and their families in Kenya. Imagine being a child born with autism in Kenya, where resources are scarce and support is virtually non-existent. Sadly, this is the reality for many children in the Mount Kenya region. With limited access to services and a lack of accurate diagnosis, these children and their families face immense challenges every day. It is estimated that approximately 65,000 autistic people are living in the Mount Kenya South region of Kenya. This project aims to establish autism care centers providing comprehensive diagnostic, affordable therapeutic, teaching, and educational services to support autistic children and their families within this area.

We have recognised that one skill we are short of on our board is financial management and fundraising - could you help to fill this gap?

Please contact us to find out more or receive a trustee pack.

Please mention OSCAR when responding.
