Intro
Malengo currently supports low-income, high-ability students in Uganda in applying for and completing Bachelor's degrees, as well as refugees in Kenya and Rwanda seeking vocational training in Germany. By 2030, we aim to support students from most low-income and lower-middle income countries, and facilitate undergraduate studies in more than a dozen destination countries. Our program is sustainable through a combination of a strong network of volunteer mentors and a financial model in which students support future generations of scholars once they earn a high enough income (Income Share Agreements, ISAs).
We are now looking for a Germany-based accounting professional to support our finance team.
