So let’s first dispel all the bullshit media coverage about Africa. Africa is the size of Europe, China, Australia and south America put together.So just because you saw warlords and dying kids in one African country doesn’t mean that its the same situation in another African country. Research people! Research

I wrote this article because a lot of college girls have asked me how I got my internship in one specific African country, Kenya.

I did my internship in Nairobi, specifically at the David sheldrick wildlife trust, taking care of orphaned baby elephants as well as going out into the wild looking for stranded elephants.

I spent two months in Nairobi and I learnt a lot as well as dispelling a lot of the myths that I had come to know.

So in this article I would like to give you the best way you can get an Internship as well as a volunteer Job in Kenya if you are a college girl.

I did a survey of 500 college girls who have interned and volunteered in Kenya combined as well with my own experience and came up with the No.1 way to get an internship in the country.

But briefly, What is so special about Kenya and why are a lot of college girls going there?

Kenya is a beautiful African country where the Lion King movie was based on, rich in both wildlife and culture. Their economy has been growing at an alarming rate of 5.8% per year making it into the Blomberg’s list of top 10 countries to invest in and it is the financial powerhouse of East and Central Africa. The Chinese have realized this and they are becoming very very involved with the country. Its home to the second tallest mountain in Africa, home to the maasai Mara as well as the second largest coral reef in the world and a haven for the big 5 wild animals bringing in more than 1,000,000 tourists per year. The main reason why college girls are becoming so into the country is mainly because of the beauty and peace you find. The world is slowed down and you can finally breath and be at peace before you go back to reality. Its like a fantasy world. There has to be a reason “hakuna matata” originated from there.Not to mention it opens up your mind to opportunities and an internship in Kenya is a great way to build up your CV. The best YouTube video that I found describing the country that was 95% accurate is this one below so I recommend you have a look. It was well done and very accurate.

So knowing what you know now, what internships can you get and what is the best way to get it.

The best sectors of their economy to intern in are

Medicine

Finance

Hotel Humanitarianism Wildlife conservation Architecture Law Media Research and statistics Psychology Engineering

If you have an interest in this sector I recommend that you take a look into Kenya

So how do you get an internship here? From my survey of 500 college girls I came up with this finding in terms of quality internships, legitimacy,affordability, friendliness and level of service offered

The two best honourable mentions are

1.Project Africa

2.Go abroad

So you can check them out,

But clearly hands down and it is clearly the best way to get an internship in the powerhouse is through….

What the hell is mutua Lema? That was my question during the survey and it kept coming up……a lot. Mutua Lema is a Kenyan freelance youth living in Kenya. He has hooked up a lot of students with internships in Kenya with the best companies in the country. He is apparently well connected and this are the qualities from the survey that has made him stand out very much

1.The most important quality is that He’s well conn ected with a lot if human resource departments in the capital thus can help you get very quality Internships that you would otherwise not be able to get in a ridiculously short amount if time

2.He’s legitimate. In a world filled with frauds and people who don’t deliver he is not among them.He doesn’t ask you for any upfront fee. In fact you don’t pay him until you have got an official e-mail from the company before you leave your country of origin and until you have done the internship for two weeks and are absolutely satisfied.

3.He does this job on the side and is not looking to get rich from it making him very very affordable and within the normal college girls budget

4.He secures for you a very good host family preferably with the organization you will be interning with.

5.If you are looking on volunteering in Kenya, he does it all for free. He’ll get you the organization you want to volunteer with as well as a host family and won’t charge you a cent

6.He has a good referral program that if you do the internship with two of your friends, you get yours for free

7.He has a very deep sense of caring constantly calling to find out if your okay. He takes you out on your free time showing you the country and all its beauties, introducing you to the locals and the local way of life and special places normal tourists never get to see.

The bad thing about him that I could find from the survey is that he’s from Slytherin. I know, bummer. But from the people who interacted with him, none said he was evil. They were quite surprised that he’s of Slytherin. Apart from that, he’s pretty good.

So how do you contact him

He’s freelance and right now the easiest way to get into contact with him is through his Instagram account. Follow him and send him a DM with what you want and he’ll take it from there.

And there you have it, my findings from my survey. Hope you find it useful so go out there and explore and travel.

Here are some of the pictures I took with my friends from my time in Kenya, enjoy.

Here is his Instagram handle so that you can reach him,
