Ikando Foundation

Organization Description: 

Volunteer in Africa with Ikando.

We are committed to enabling skill transfer, enabling organisations in the developing world to access different skill sets and to helping volunteers realize the value they can add using the skills they hold.
We hope our volunteers will become responsible global citizens asa result of their experience with Ikando, promoting the need for social change and raising awareness in their home communities on the issues they encountered. Africa has a lot to offer but also needs support, the support it rightfully deserves.

Our Internships in Africa:
International Internships enable students to further develop their skills and gain the invaluable experience that will set them apart from their peers. Employers far rather employ staff who have both experience and have demonstrated daring and initiative. Ikando can help you achieve this. We will provide you with any documentation required by your university for academic credit or work experience (European Stagiers)
