Over the years, Etafeni has successfully hosted numbers of students from Stanford University and more recently, we hosted two 6-month internships from Northeastern University.   We have benefited from their energy, interest and passion and in turn, they are able to learn from and give to Etafeni’s many programmes.

Working at Etafeni provides a broad experience of development work and organisational development.  I can say with conviction that the majority, if not all, interns, undergo a remarkable change of perception of Africa, poverty and the value of human relations.

The Etafeni experience “gets below your skin” and continues to live for many many years.”
