About the charity
Tiyeni is a UK-Malawian NGO whose mission is to end food poverty and to improve water security. We achieve our mission by delivering training and support to smallholder farmers in our innovative form of climate-smart agriculture, Deep Bed Farming (DBF). Our low-cost, low-tech farming method dramatically increases crop yields from the first year of adoption while simultaneously regenerating the natural environment, empowering communities to become more climate-resilient.  
Tiyeni means "Let's Go!" in Chichewa, Malawi's most widely-spoken language.

You will have experience of developing successful grant applications and proposals for support to trusts and foundations. You will have digital fundraising fluency such as using social media to build support and run crowdfunding campaigns.
You will be an outstanding written communicator with the ability to absorb and synthesize complex information and translate it into compelling written cases for support. You should have excellent interpersonal and relationship management skills with the ability to relate to, influence, and persuade internal and external stakeholders at all levels.
