Logistics and supply-chain operations supporting displaced communities in Africa
FORGE operates a logistics-heavy nonprofit focused on supply-chain management for displaced communities across Africa. The hiring mix is dominated by warehouse and logistics roles (56 positions), with operations and manufacturing support—reflecting a physical goods distribution operation rather than a traditional nonprofit services model. Active projects center on export consolidation, shipment monitoring, and customs compliance, while pain points cluster around depot capacity, driver retention, and cost control.
