"It was so interesting to meet people from all different backgrounds coming together at the African Impact Foundation to achieve collective goals toward project development throughout Africa. I loved learning how projects and partnerships were created and then seeing those collaborations play out in real time while in the field. Our partners in the field are the experts on these projects, and I loved learning from their experience.”

"It is definitely comforting to be surrounded by smart people in a small organization like this, where there is a short route from idea to reality. It is easy to see that I am making a real, tangible impact. The internship is customized to the strengths and interests of the intern, but I was also challenged every day with tasks that I had never done before. I faced great challenges, but I have now gained new skills and experiences because of it."
