Job Title: Grant Writer Location: Abuja Description One of Africa’s greatest challenge is providing quality, cost-effective health care to the elderly and the underserved in both urban and rural sectors. From our observations, many people know little or nothing about what is expected of them during medical or domestic emergencies.
