Education Internships in Kenya

Embark on a two-week, volunteer adventure trip in Kenya! This trip is the perfect opportunity for participants to experience the touristic areas of the Maasai Mara and Diani Beach, as well as to lend a hand to the local communities. Participants begin in Limuru, with volunteer work at a local school. On the fourth day, they will work in a community center and assist individuals with physical challenges, including those with disabilities and those affected by HIV. Following their volunteer days, participants will head to the Maasai Mara to meet tribe members and enjoy a safari. They will then travel down to the beautiful Diani Beach region for a relaxing beach weekend.

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.
