kumbe this thing of racism in pay is in many places. I know an NGO that pays all mzungus consultancy fees of 80k.

Depending with the NGO, most if not all wazungus are considered to be international staff/consultants, and thus they are paid using different standards as opposed to local hires/consultants.
even foreign blacks are usually considered internationals and are paid using different standards - I do not think its an issue to do with racism, that is in most cases.

you will find them doing very little for 80k per day. Most of these orgs are just mzungu's way of stealing from their govt. You work for govt's aid agency and u form your NGO where you pay yourself colossal sums

Haiya kumbe. But it still remains one of the best places to start. I just completed my degree in Telecommunications Engineering and have already made 2 unsuccessful applications there.

Its a better place to move to when you have some good years in terms of experience, better still go in as a consultant at least you negotiate the pay - at the starting level utawekwa sijui g7, assistant something whose qualification is just secondary education and trust me moving grades for the junior guys is very hard.


It is not, You will leave that place with zilch additional knowledge.I know some development consulting firms and NGO's that will not hire you if you have worked with any UN entity.



It depends with what you are doing - I am sure our foreign affairs secretary gained some decent knowledge from the UN


Amina didnt join UN as a fresh graduate, she had worked for the government for a very long time.Moreover she has worked at strategic level for UN bodies.( http://www.kenyarep-jp.c...ile-AmbAminaMohamed.pdf )

UN is not the best place to start your career but it is a good way to end your career

The European NGO pays Wakenya kawa Middle class salos but gives the wazungus 80k per day(5days). This is many times the salo of senior wakenya

In addition, some bright chaps working with the aid organisation back in Europe create a company that does other consltancies for the NGO

Ukipata kazi na NGO wewe umetoboa but if you're not that lucky I'd recommend doing business. Well, it might be hard to start but I'm sure if you follow your dream you can make much more in 5 years time than what you'd get in that Ngo JOB.
