Founded and fully funded by Pharo Management, an emerging markets hedge fund, the Foundation applies private sector rigour and operational discipline to maximise impact.We invest in economic development programmes and for-profit ventures to deliver sustainable impact, meaningful outcomes that continue long after the initial investment, rather than gains that require constant external funding to maintain. Thus, our model links two engines together: ventures create jobs and economic activity, while their profits help fund the development programmes that strengthen the conditions for future growth.Over the next decade, the Foundation’s ambition is to deliver lasting impact across three interdependent missions:Empowering the next generation through affordable, high-quality education Solving water scarcity through sustainable infrastructure Driving economic productivity by unlocking jobs, investment, and innovation through both non-profit and for-profit venturesThe Foundation operates in Ethiopia, Somaliland, Kenya, and Rwanda, employing more than 800 people across three divisions: Pharo Schools, Pharo Development, and Pharo Ventures.OpportunityWe are looking for a motivated and adaptable finance professional who is eager to learn and thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
