Malengo

Malengo is an international non-profit that empowers high-potential students from low-income countries to access higher education and vocational training opportunities in high-income countries, unlocking transformative long-term income gains. Using an innovative income-share agreement (ISA)  financing model, Malengo covers scholars’ upfront costs, which are then repaid over time, enabling the model to scale sustainably. Our mission is to alleviate extreme poverty by aligning funding with long-term outcomes—creating a virtuous cycle that delivers both life-changing impact for scholars and meaningful returns for mission-aligned funders.
