OVERVIEW

Aminata Maternal Foundation (AMF) is an international development organisation and is registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC). Our vision is that no woman or baby dies in childbirth in Sierra Leone due to poverty. In Australia, we raise funds and awareness as we work towards this vision. AMF was founded and is led by Aminata Conteh-Biger who recently won Women Agenda’s ‘Agenda Setter of the Year award. After experiencing high-quality healthcare in Australia during a difficult birth, founder Aminata Conteh-Biger felt compelled to seek improvements for women in her country of birth, Sierra Leone, which she fled as a refugee. There Aminata witnessed women bleeding to death during childbirth in front of a doctor because they could not afford to pay. After several years of being largely volunteer-run and led, we are now seeking to hire a fundraiser who will make a major difference by raising the resources that will enable a revised strategy, associated with organisational growth, to be taken forward.
