Internships in Nairobi, Kenya

The incredible attraction of the famous migration over the Masai Mara has brought with it some conflict in competition for resources such as predator's praying on local livestock, and the Masai people not being as involved in the tourism project as would be hoped. The aims of this project are to ensure that the Mara remains a valuable source of income for the country and to increase local community involvement in the tourism process. Additionally, the project aims to monitor and research some of Africa's most endangered wildlife, and in partner with a Big Cat Monitoring project volunteers will help monitor the movement of prides of lions, leopards and cheetahs within the conservancy, as well as the interaction between lions and the local communities.

Psychology internships abroad are the perfect opportunity for psychology students to gain some work experience while traveling abroad. Mental health is a topic that is often overlooked, especially in developing countries, so the help of skilled and dedicated volunteers is very much needed. Whatever your skills are, plenty of psychology internships are available for graduates and undergraduates. Join a clinical psychology program and shadow doctors in their daily work. If you prefer working with children, join a mental health initiative in schools and daycare centers.

We invite medical students and practitioners across all medical fields to fill the ever-growing gaps in Level 5 hospitals, health centers, rural clinics, and dispensaries in Kenya. Some of these facilities have the equipment but lack human resources, affecting the services provided to most of the population. Interns and volunteers will be involved in various activities based on their backgrounds and training. These could include assisting with nursing, patient check-ups, registration, treatments, vaccinations, patient transport, maternity, pediatric care, dentistry, optical care, physiotherapy, and surgeries, among other things. Participants can choose to work at Nakuru Level 5 General Hospital, Mother Kevin Mission Hospital, Mama Lucy Hospital, or Muserich Health Center. The work schedule is from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm, and interns/volunteers can stay anywhere from two weeks to three months. Weekends are free, and interns/volunteers can also take part in professional knowledge sharing.
