Business Development Fellow (Beale Horton by Cocoa360)

Beale Horton Health (BHH) is on a mission to end the 2 million preventable child deaths caused each year by donor funding collapse—the #1 killer of children globally, surpassing HIV/AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis combined. BHH delivers a world-class school-based health model that uses behavioral science, sustainable incentives, and smart technology to keep children healthy even after donor programs end. As the scaling arm of Cocoa360, and rooted in 10 years of its research in Ghana, BHH’s model has reached 35,000 families, and by 2027, aims to protect 5 million African children everyday.
