Security and Risk Manager, Nurture Project International, Remote Opportunity
Deadline: Open until filled
Position Description:
Nurture Project International (NPI) is a US based, grassroots, nonprofit that believes every
woman has a right to a safe and supported motherhood. NPI provides relief to communities
affected by disaster, crisis, or trauma by engaging experienced and qualified volunteers to
respond quickly to emergencies and provide rapid assessments, trainings, and grassroots
support to local communities.
Nurture Project International was first discussed during a conversation between public
health professionals, disaster relief experts, breastfeeding supporters, midwives, and
IBCLCs who were passionate about minority rights, disaster relief, safe infant feeding, and
international public health. As a response to a call for infant feeding specialists in Europe
the organization has rapidly grown and our first large project in Greece was developed.
After an analysis of the current refugee crisis it was quickly concluded that there was a
great need for creating an informed group to mobilize qualified and trained volunteers who
would deploy to emergency situations and support mother as they fed their babies. In
addition, it was concluded that education, training, and information was needed not only
amongst other NGOs, health professionals, and volunteers to ensure best infant feeding
practices but also for refugee mothers so that they can create and maintain peer to peer
infant feeding support projects within the refugee community.
