Anthropology & International Development Internship

Research key development needs of low-income indigenous communities, and propose integrated solutions that also preserve their culture. THE CHALLENGE Guaranda is one of Ecuador's poorest regions. Most Indigenous people live in rural areas where poverty exceeds 40%, child malnutrition 48%, illiteracy 10%, and teenage pregnancy 26%. Five centuries after colonization, globalization could be the final blow to these cultures. Many young people migrate to cities to support families, and the Kichwa language risks extinction. THE SOLUTION We may have only a generation or two to ensure these cultures survive. Fortunately, locals work to continue traditions and rebuild pride. With your help, we can understand the factors determining whether they preserve and regenerate their culture while joining the global community of the 21st century. OUR METHODOLOGY Our internships use Design Thinking to co-create solutions with local partners. You’ll learn to observe, ideate, and prototype in real contexts, building skills while driving sustainable change. On weekends—or before and after your stay—you can explore Ecuador, from the Amazon to the Galápagos.
