Intern in The Fight Against Human Trafficking

This internship is available to women with a Master’s Degree in Psychology. You will intern with us at one of our partners, a non-governmental organization based in Nairobi dedicated to eradicating human trafficking throughout Kenya (HAART).

HAART uses a multi-disciplinary approach including raising awareness, assisting victims, lobbying towards successful prosecution of offenders, and partnering with networks to end modern slavery. You will take on a professional, intimate role counseling victims and working closely with them toward empowerment.
