Humanitarian internships
Act for local communities!
A humanitarian internship is an organized effort aimed at improving the well-being of people in need. These projects typically focus on providing relief and support during crises such as natural disasters, conflicts, or epidemics. They often address basic needs such as food, water, shelter, and education.
These projects are often carried out by non-governmental organizations, international agencies, and volunteer groups.
