Marafiki Africa

Business Consultant Intern

August 2019 • Arusha Chini, Kilimanjaro Region

What I liked

I loved the way we were integrated into the culture and people of Tanzania. The experience was one-of-a-kind, and allowed me to work in an environment extremely out of my comfort zone. Marafiki did everything possible to assure a positive experience. I learned so much, not only from the other interns, but those we were helping, and the Tanzanian staff.

What I wish was different

I wouldn't really change a thing. I feel the experience was very authentic, and the Marafiki team did everything possible to make the space and time inclusive as much as possible.

Advice

Come in with an open mind. Your perspective can be very different to that of someone from around the world, so the internship was not just a chance to consult, but to learn.
