Life-changing careers
So They Can is an international NGO on a mission to change the lives of students in East Africa through education. To achieve this, we know that we need smart, passionate team members who are aligned to our mission and values and really want to make a difference.
At the very core of So They Can is the belief that there is a deep connection between all human beings and that children, wherever they are born, should be given an equal chance in life to reach their potential.
We work passionately and relentlessly to provide some of the poorest children in Africa with opportunity through education. We do this because we believe that education is the key to breaking the poverty cycle and that every child matters.
