    Interns experience daily life in Tanzania while also witnessing the growth of one of the fastest-growing economies in Africa.

    We use social media to increase the program's visibility to the public and as a marketing tool. We often use it to provide information about our work in the communities.

    Our Facebook pages have more than 50k followers and a solid visibility base for the Tanzanian public.

    We highlight media in network development and constantly wish to develop tools to reach our target groups in universities and the private sector.

    Our media tools include the arts, music, and film. We also offer an immersive experience for students who desire to use innovative and creative African media tools.

    Our media is advocacy, visibility, and marketing-focused. We also provide in-country orientation, training, and academic tutoring for the program.

    Academic-level team leaders are supervising your internship. In addition, we monitor your work with a weekly plan and report system to ensure you proceed well in your study program.
