Internship Community and Conservation - UN Sustainable Development Goals Focus - Greater Kruger area

The Nourish Eco Village Internship in Agricultural Enterprise Development in Africa provides a unique opportunity to work directly with the local community on agri-processing and agro-ecology methods. The opportunity to work with staff directly in the field ensures hands-on learning in a context-rich environment. Further, the internship's on-line modules provide a structured format to conduct research, design and implement a project that meets both the community's needs while complementing existing and desired skill sets, and reflect on the project outcomes and tie to the sustainable development goals. The supportive work environment promotes continual learning and growth and the incredibly warm and welcoming team makes the stay a dream. The immersive experience allows for true connection with the local culture and facilitates weekend exploring of the beautiful Greater Kruger and beyond.

My experience at Nourish eco village was great, both in terms of my internship and in terms of my cultural and relational experience. The team at the organization is super nice and makes you feel very comfortable. It is an extremely rewarding experience and well worth it. Located a few minutes from the entrance of the Kruger National Park, this site welcomes many different profiles which is very pleasant to share new experiences. Different programs are offered (nursery, farm, recycling...) which allows you to participate in the life of this organization.

I really enjoyed my internship with Nourish Eco Village. The staff was very nice and welcoming, I had a lot of fun during my internship and I learnt a lot ! During the day, I worked at the farm and in the evening I spent time with other volunteers. I also visited Kruger National Park which was amazing. I discovered a new culture and met new people. Nourish Eco Village is a place of Ubuntu, “I am because you are”. People learn about themselves and share their experience with other volunteers and guests coming from all over the world.
