About Program
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 helping us evaluate program impact. Many students have developed meaningful research thesis here on topics like the impact of HIV on women, livelihoods and gender equity, or community health systems. Beyond academics, you’ll experience Kenya’s vibrant culture, traditions, and daily life in local villages
