We believe in a world in which
every human life is valued, and health and human dignity are shared by all.
We believe that access to quality
healthcare is a basic human right. For more than 100 years, we have worked with
global partners to deliver locally sustainable, quality healthcare solutions to
women, children and their communities. We’re ready to make it 100 more.
We believe change starts with
her.
We work tirelessly for women’s
and children’s health because they are disproportionately affected by illness
and poverty. We know that healthy, educated, and empowered women are better
able to raise healthy, educated, and confident children, and that communities
depend on their livelihoods. We’re making an impact – learn more.
We believe in people.
We strive to live out our core
values of collaboration, love, excellence and respect every day. We provide our
employees with a competitive salary and a meaningful benefits package, with
opportunities to learn and grow. We especially encourage all persons of diverse
backgrounds to apply. Read more from our President & CEO below.

Background
Service Efficiency and
Effectiveness for Vulnerable Children and Adolescents (SEEVCA) Initiative is
led by the Ministry of Community Development and Social Services (MCDSS) with
funding from USAID and technical assistance from UNICEF to produce a
sustainable approach to case management for VCA living in households receiving
Social Cash Transfers (SCTs). The intent of the SEEVCA program is to reduce
vulnerability and expand protection for the most vulnerable and marginalized
households in 11 districts. The strategy to reach the main target group
(vulnerable children and adolescents) combines the SCT programme with
standardised case management that supports access to other existing services
and information –to reduce vulnerability and equip households to be more
resilient. The goal is for the Government, with support under SEEVCA, to
enhance the capacity of existing structures and systems to provide case
management at ward level that increases access to services and builds household
resiliency. CMMB is part of the SEEVCA project and will be implementing in 7
districts.

Facilitators to implement the SEEVCA initiative with focus on the ward level
