TVT accepts applications for volunteers and interns throughout the year. Nevertheless, there are more opportunities available during the summer but we host a continual stream of internships every month of the year. It will therefore depend on when one is available and application must be received two months before the volunteer/internship start date.

This varies by internship, but generally most student internships are for 6-12 weeks. The volunteer programme is available throughout the year and ranges from 2 weeks depending on one’s availability. TVT is flexible on the number of days worked but one must be able to work for at least three days in a week if assigned to a project sites in any country. For virtual volunteers or online volunteers, time spent will depend on the individual time plan.

Yes, for the time being TVT projects are in Kenya but arrangements are under way to roll out similar projects in other countries of Africa and this will be communicated through the TVT website.

TVT is a small charitable organisation with limited resources to support income generating activities for women and youth in rural villages. Thus the interns and volunteers will not be paid for their participation in the programmes. However, TVT will be responsible for organizing logistics such as office space, arranging meetings and other local operational requirements.

Both interns and volunteers will receive a commendation or  reference letter upon completion of their programme with TVT.
