Today, we had the pleasure of welcoming philanthropist Judith Neilson and @SimonFreeman75, CEO of the @_JNFoundation, for a visit to Solid'Africa.
Come work with us! We are looking to fill FOUR junior positions that will gain exposure across our work in Australia, Africa and beyond...
We are now recruiting FOUR Program Officers to play a crucial role in our work across Africa, Australia, and Innovation & Ideas. If you're passionate about making an impact and want to be part of a dynamic team based in Sydney, we want to hear from you: judithneilsonfoundation.org/…

"In some venues, reporters now do their work with all the passion of an accountant, and it shows in their guarded, couched and equivocating copy." -- so many riffs to pull out of this @jackshafer piece on the loss of media swagger.

Fantastic to have this partnership up and running! We are a small team based 10,000km away, so finding high quality partners with an established presence on the ground is critical to success.
Some serious talent on show as netball fever strikes Masiphumelele in the lead up to @NetballWorldCup. Thanks to the amazing team at Masisports and the inspirational Vince van der Bijl for their hospitality today, something that will stick with me for a long time @_JNFoundation
#segal2023 - an incredible welcome to an awe inspiring conference. One that will help solve our problem of how to connect @_JNFoundation to hundreds of grassroots change makers across Africa.

The schools in Cape Town's Masiphumelele township are getting major upgrades thanks to people like Vince van der Bijl, Fred Alger & Dr Judith Neilson.
Neilson is funding a multi-sports astro field, an astro volleyball court and three cricket nets at Masiphumelele High School.
