Africa’s Children-Africa’s Future (AC-AF) is a non-governmental organization currently operating in Canada and Tanzania. We work with vulnerable children to allow them to realize their childhood dreams, live well balanced lives, provide for their families and support their communities through a rights-based framework. Many of these children may have been orphaned as a result of AIDS and will have been identified by the community as being particularly vulnerable. In addition, we work with the local communities to raise awareness of HIV and AIDS. In raising awareness, we educate and encourage community members to protect themselves against transmission, provide support and advice to those already infected, and seek to reduce stigma and discrimination against those infected and affected. We are looking for qualified candidates for the position of Programme Manager to lead our team in the Dar es Salaam office.
