Financial Officer International Partnerships & Programmes (IPP)

Organisatie

Liliane Fonds stands for an inclusive and diverse society in which everyone can participate, regardless of background, characteristics and preferences. We are an organization in which all those different colleagues are respected and belong. Together we achieve the best and most beautiful results.

Around 50,000 children with disabilities received support from Liliane Fonds in 2022. We started a change in their lives. A change that, for most, means the difference between a life on the margins and a life with others and room for development.

80% of all children with disabilities live in the poorest parts of the world. That's no coincidence. Poverty leads to disabilities, for example due to insufficient healthy food, a poor living environment with poor sanitation and limited access to health care. Conversely, disability leads to more poverty. This is partly because parents of children with disabilities incur higher costs for care and medicines and have to spend a lot of time caring for their child and therefore have less time to work. And also because the children themselves rarely have access to education and, at a later age, the labour market. They are also hampered by social exclusion and stigma. In this way, the vicious circle of poverty and disability has been closed.

Liliane Fonds breaks this vicious circle and improves the quality of life and future opportunities of children with disabilities. We make their living, playing and learning world more accessible and contribute to a society in which they can participate. We always do this together with local partners, who know the situation on the ground and have the network to provide this help in the best possible way.

At our office in 's-Hertogenbosch, more than 90 employees and more than 80 volunteers work together for Liliane Fonds and MIVA. Since 2018, Liliane Fonds and MIVA have formed a personal union.

In coordination with the responsible Organisational Development Advisor, you will visit SPOs to strengthen organisational capacity and processes, and for internal monitoring.
