KENYA | Volunteer Accountant @ Children's Education Charity | 2 Weeks

Our partner works with schools in one of Nairobi’s largest slums to improve the quality of education, resources and infrastructure to give its students a better start in life. They are looking for an experienced accountant to support their Executive Director with business planning and long-term strategy.

The organisation partners with community-based schools in informal settlements and the slums of Nairobi, strengthening leadership through training to teachers and principals, improving instructional quality and providing infrastructure support to help the schools create an environment where all children can fulfil their potential. They are currently working with schools in Kawangware, Kangemi and the satellite areas of Kibera. The schools are poorly resourced; additionally, often a number of the teachers have not received formal training. 

You will be working closely with the Executive Director to help develop a business plan and social enterprise model to ensure financial sustainability.

We are confident you’ll encounter a variety of new and exciting challenges, share new experiences with inspiring people and learn skills that will give you confidence to face challenges in other areas of your life. You’ll be inspired and get back so much more than you give!
