This internship is also available as an on-site internship.

Social Work and NGO Support in Tanzania

As a remote intern in communication and administration for NGOs in Tanzania, you will be connected to the team of one of our partner organizations in the Kilimanjaro region via the internet and collaborate with them. The NGOs we work with operate in areas such as human rights, development work, poverty alleviation, actions against female genital mutilation, education, youth development, and psychotherapy. You can specify your preferences!

One highlight that organizations are happy to arrange for you are virtual encounters. You will have the opportunity to communicate directly with the beneficiaries of the NGO via webcam, such as a virtual visit to a youth community center, a family supported by a social work NGO, or a group meeting of a savings group at Kilimanjaro! Although you will be sitting at home in front of your computer, tablet, or mobile phone, you will be "right in the middle" of the action and get a true insight into the organization's work on the ground and the beneficiaries' reality.
