Explore topics related to:
Building the case for education opportunity and access for children in India who would otherwise be left behind.
Why choose this focus area?
Education is critical to the success of children growing up in India, but access to school and other opportunities can be major social constraints on young people growing up in the country.
If you are passionate about making sure children have equitable access to education, particularly those from at-risk or impoverished backgrounds, this focus area is your chance to help make a difference.
From tackling concepts such as poverty’s impact on young people and what the education system is like for those from different socioeconomic backgrounds in India, to confronting specific challenges Indian kids face such growing up with HIV, you’ll learn what it takes to overcome obstacles for the benefit of kids.
See up-close how organizations are countering the prevailing obstacles to equitable education.

SATURDAYS
ONLINE FOCUS AREA SESSION
08:00AM – 10:00AM PT
(11:00AM – 01:00PM ET)
WITH Aii GROUP OF INDIA
In Collaboration With:
Aii Group
Region of Impact:
India and South Africa
Explore topics related to:
Building the case for public health campaigns and access to quality healthcare in India, especially for its most at-risk populations.
Why choose this focus area?
Although India has a vast and free healthcare system, there remain many differences in quality between rural and urban areas as well as between public and private health care. This can lead to poor health and higher mortality rates for certain populations, such as those living in more impoverished communities.
Learn how quality healthcare can lead to better health outcomes and can foster social change, especially in resource-poor environments.
Explore how public health campaigns are critical to community health outcomes. Also, discover how the quality of healthcare provided, rather than just access to it, is a vehicle to address positive development as well as its impact on public health.
Doctors from South Africa will also provide input during the course of this virtual internship.
