POSITION POSTING - EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
BethanyKids is seeking expressions of interest for the position of
Executive Director.
Its ministry is focused towards children needing surgical and
rehabilitative care on the continent of Africa. Its primary base is
at Kijabe, Kenya, where it has access to the facilities of the AIC
Kijabe Hospital to perform surgery on approximately 2,000
children per year, to care for them following surgery, and to train
