Position: Director of Fundraising - Africa Based in Nairobi, Kenya About The Organization: KickStart - International (KickStart) is an innovative, 501c3 non-profit, social enterprise with a mission to help millions of people in Africa escape poverty by promoting sustainable employment creation and economic growth. KickStart believes that impoverished people in the developing world need precisely what any other poor person needs: a way to earn more money. KickStart works by designing very low cost tools and equipment, and mass marketing them to very poor, but entrepreneurial African men and women, who buy them and use them to establish profitable small-scale family businesses. KickStart's best-selling products are manually operated irrigation pumps which are marketed under the brand name "MoneyMaker". KickStart develops a private-sector supply chain to distribute and sell the equipment, and a large-scale marketing/ extension program to widely promote the equipment to poor farmers. Finally, KickStart carefully measures its impacts to determine if the families who buy the equipment really do make enough money to get out of poverty. To date over 110,000 families have lifted themselves out of poverty with these tools. In summary, KickStart has developed and proven a cost-effective, replicable and sustainable model with the potential to take many millions of families around the world out of poverty. KickStart has won many international prizes/accolades and was recently featured as a "Top Project" on Jumo.org and recognized by Fast Company magazine and the Monitor Group. KickStart was also named "One of the Top 15 Charities for Investors" by Nuwire and has earned the highest possible rating on Charity Navigator. Additionally, the MoneyMaker pump was called one of the "Ten Inventions that Will Change the World" by Newsweek. kickstart.org   |
