Inspire a Healthy Lifestyle

SDG 6

SDG 3

SDG 1

Health and Wellbeing

At least half of the world’s population still cannot access essential health services, according to the World Health Organization. In disadvantaged communities, this often means a lack of basic resources and limited access to public health education. As a result, both children and adults suffer from poor hygiene, a limited understanding of sexual health, and a higher prevalence of preventable diseases.

During your internship, you’ll have the opportunity to focus on Health & Wellbeing by supporting our charity partner, the FutureSense Foundation, in working directly with local communities to raise awareness around key health topics. You’ll help deliver engaging, interactive sessions focused on clean water and sanitation, nutrition, and personal hygiene, empowering individuals with the knowledge they need to live healthier lives.

If you want to be a part of something bigger and help improve health education quality then join us and make an impact!
