Welthungerhilfe, one of Germany's largest non-governmental aid agencies, provides long-term development assistance projects. Active in Kenya since 1962, the organization has supported local development initiatives and has maintained an office in Nairobi since its registration as an NGO in 1993. Geographically, Welthungerhilfe's operations span various regions, focusing on sustainable development and emergency relief.

Collaborate closely with Legal & Compliance at Head Office and relevant functions such as HR, IT, Finance, Supply Chain and Project Management.

Expert Application Advice

In your application for Welthungerhilfe, don't just list your senior legal experience—prove how you met les compétences demandées dans l'annonce by citing a specific case or deal you led. This turns a generic claim into compelling evidence of your expertise.

Positioning — Your cover letter must answer one question: why YOU for THIS specific role right NOW? Avoid generic templates — one sentence on what you specifically bring beats three generic paragraphs.

Specialization and cases — Specify your legal specializations and reference the types of cases handled. Knowledge of local sectoral regulations is often a key differentiator.

🎯 Make your application ATS-ready

ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) are the software recruiters use to automatically filter CVs before any human reads them. Our CV builder is specifically designed to pass these filters — and it takes under 3 minutes.

  • Never pay any amount of money — for a file, a training, a uniform, or an interview. A real employer never asks the candidate to pay.
  • Never send a photo of your ID card, passport, or banking details before you have physically verified the employer exists.
  • Always meet in a public place, during the day — never an isolated address, a private home, or a location you cannot verify in advance.
  • Tell a relative or friend exactly where you are going, with whom, and at what time — and share your live location if possible.
  • Search the company name online before going: a real business has a trace (website, reviews, other employees, an official address).
  • A salary that is far above the market rate for the position and the city is a red flag — be extra cautious.
