Project Description

This internship is available to women with a Master’s Degree in Psychology 

Internship with us at one of our partners, a non-government organization based in Nairobi is dedicated to eradicating human trafficking throughout Kenya. To achieve this, HAART uses a multi-disciplinary approach including raising awareness about human trafficking, assisting victims, lobbying towards successful prosecution of offenders, and by working in partnership with other organizations/networks to end modern slavery.

You will be taking on a more professional and intimate role as you will be counselling the victims of human trafficking, working closely with them towards empowerment. This is an incredible learning experience as it will gain you essential practical skills and cultural awareness within this field.

Qualifications:

  • Have a Master’s degree in Psychology at minimum to be able to counsel the victims 
  • Be prepared to commit to volunteering for a minimum of 3 months
  • Be able to work alone
  • Must submit a CV and part-take in an interview

Impact:

Human trafficking is a transnational crime in Kenya. Volunteers contribute toward the most complex human rights challenge of our time.

Our Goal

Our goal for this program is be able to help the victims of human trafficking deal with with their emotions and be able to gain self esteem.  We want them to be able to be able to rejoin their families if they choose to do so and become whole and healthy again.

  • A volunteers work day on this project will generally last between 4 and 6 hours and while we ask all volunteers to be flexible in this regard, a typical daily schedule is likely to go something like this:

  • 7:30 – 8:00am Walk or bus to your project site
  • 9:00am VOLUNTEERING DUTIES START
  • A tea break and lunch break will be fitted in during the day, but often the timing of breaks will change based on the needs of the local staff and number of volunteers on hand.
  • 3:00pm VOLUNTEERING DUTIES END
  • 3:30pm Walk or bus back to the accommodation
  • Evenings Volunteers are free to explore the local area, check out the markets and shopping or just hangout.
