Impactful Internship & Research Opportunity in Kenya

Join us for a transformative internship/research experience that blends professional growth with deep cultural immersion. Our program welcomes students & graduates from diverse disciplines, whether you’re studying entrepreneurship, behavioral economics, public health, international development, nonprofit management, marketing, photography, or project management. Interns and researchers actively contribute to grassroots projects addressing women’s socio-economic empowerment, sustainable agriculture, microfinance, SRHR, HIV prevention/management, and WASH initiatives. You’ll gain invaluable field experience by conducting interviews, gathering data, participating in training sessions, and assisting us in evaluating program impact. Many students have developed meaningful research theses on topics such as the impact of HIV on women, livelihoods, and gender equity, as well as community health systems. Beyond academics, you’ll experience Kenya’s vibrant culture, traditions, and daily life in local villages. Your insights not only fulfill your academic goals, but they also help us refine our work for greater community impact.

Program: Impactful Internship & Research Opportunity in Kenya

10

Kisumu is a safe and interesting city with many places to visit, eat, and explore. The people are very respectful, friendly, and welcoming, and transportation within the city is accessible and easy to use. Kenya is a country full of culture and history, with a variety of places to visit, from local museums to cultural sites. There are many restaurants, cafés, and local food spots where you can relax and enjoy the experience. The people are warm, relaxed, and very polite. The team was very supportive and kindly arranged airport pickup and departure, as well as recommending places to visit. Beatrice is a wonderful person who cares deeply about the women in the program, and there is very important work being done, especially in empowering women through skills training, support, and community development. The program supports many women, and while resources can sometimes be limited, the dedication and effort put into the work is truly inspiring. TIPS: Make sure you take time to explore the city and try traditional Kenyan food. Visit local attractions such as the lakeside, markets, and cultural sites. As for the project, don’t be afraid to share ideas and engage actively with the women. Beatrice is very open and welcoming to suggestions. While some tasks may take time, there is always an opportunity to interact, support, and learn from the community.
