Accountant @ empowerment focussed organisation | Tanzania

This organisation aims to empower people to design & make technology solutions to community challenges.

They encourage creative problem solving, collaboration & a sharing of knowledge. To achieve this they use a three-pronged approach:

Teach: they run design and creativity workshops in secondary schools and local community
Make: they develop their own innovative technologies to better people’s lives. Their main project at the moment is an affordable drip irrigation kit made for families growing small scale crops and vegetable gardens, using locally sourced and low cost materials. Their focus is on improving health and livelihoods, saving time and money for their beneficiaries.
Support: they provide a space for local innovators to develop their products as well as mentorship and exposure to local markets.

You will be running an internal review of their systems, procedures and controls. You will be making recommendations for best practice and helping with activities such as cash management and cash flow forecasting; budget preparation and analysis; financial planning and strategy; and coaching and mentoring the new bookkeeper.
