About the Partner Organisation 

So They Can (STC), based in Arusha, focuses on education with existing programs developed to provide quality education to children living in poverty. They do this through working on improved learning conditions, teacher training, child development, and women’s empowerment. In 2025, the organisation partnered with 34 government schools.

STC continues to grow and expand its project reach, but has maintained the same staffing levels. While the current team brings valuable experience, they are primarily accustomed to managing smaller-scale projects. This has created a pressing need to strengthen internal capacity particularly in project management so as to effectively support the organisation’s growth. Due to challenges in recruiting local professionals with the required level of expertise, So They Can is seeking support from someone with international experience who can share knowledge and build the capacity of the team.
