INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITY
The Resource Center for Women and Girls (RCWG) is an organization based in Kenya, and works with
young rural-urban girls and women from all parts of the country. The RCWG uses
their prestigious empowerment and mentoring camps as a tool
to promote personal transformation and empowerment among these girls. Our aim
is to facilitate the development of the knowledge-base, so that young girls are
better prepared to be not only agents of change in their communities, but also
to participate in transformative leadership and the development of Kenya and of
the African continent as a whole.
As an organization, we are made up of a small team of committed
women who believe in leaving legacies for the next generation. We work with
consultants from our networks, we train and mentor young rural-urban girls to
develop awareness about themselves, and become potential key players in
facilitating transformative change. We
therefore work to enhance their understanding of their human rights, social
environment and to be more conscious actors in that environment. Our main goal is to invest in young rural girls
and women as part of the process of maximising the potential of African
societies to reproduce themselves. We want to transform our rural communities
so that girls are afforded opportunities to learn, stay healthy and be agents
of change. To this end, we are building a critical mass of informed girls
(later women) who will be the agents of change and trailblazers in and for
Africa.
We are looking for Interns
who are willing to grow with the organisation, share in the mission and vision
of the organisation and be part of this critical mass.
