Share your knowledge of healthy eating, cooking methods, and the impact of good nutrition on childhood development and growth by interning in Swaziland. The project supports vulnerable children from low-income communities by growing their own produce and eating healthily. This internship will give you an amazing opportunity to learn about the challenges facing poorer communities when it comes to nutrition, how different cultures view food, and the approaches undertaken to educate and overcome these. You will participate by using your skills to assist the overstretched staff in developing materials they can use long after you have returned home. Interns should be studying nutrition or a health-related topic or a professional in the fields of nursing, health promotion or health, or alternatively a dietitian. You should be comfortable working closely with a local staff developing the program as well as contributing your ideas and experiences to help staff and community members. Please bring a laptop to work on training materials, research, and your final presentation.

International Medical Aid (IMA) is a not-for-profit organization that provides travel abroad internships for nutrition and dietetics students. Undergrad and graduate-level students, as well as licensed practitioners, are invited to go to countries in East Africa, South America, and the Caribbean to provide medical care to underserved populations. Interns shadow medical professionals who treat patients requiring medical attention. Underserved communities in remote locations generally lack funds and the basic tools to maintain healthy citizens. IMA strives to change that. In addition to shadowing and volunteering, interns are encouraged to take in the beauty and culture of the country. IMA works directly with local communities to provide these trips to students. IMA bases its programs on integrity, respect, commitment, and imagination and works tirelessly to provide a safe and mutually beneficial experience for students and licensed providers alike.
