Equal Opportunity Policy
Many students from the third world, including those from Burundi, Congo DR and Rwanda, do not have much opportunities to carry out internship abroad. This is mostly because they cannot afford the cost that doing an effective internship abroad, especially in the Global North (US and Europe), involves. Those who can afford the cost face visa restrictions. But, it is even hard for these students to sustain a good internship locally still on financial grounds. Consequently the majority of students in developing countries do not have enough access to pre-professional training unlike their counterparts from developed countries.
In order to bridge this gap, iPeace has adopted the principle according to which the international intern from the global North should contribute to the internship cost of a local intern. This is not a fee as such, but rather a kind of assistance as for a month spent in our organization, the international intern will facilitate a fellow student from Burundi, Congo DR or Rwanda to have a similar experience. The international student shall contribute an amount equivalent to the cost of hosting an intern from one of these countries for the same period of time. Complementarily, the local intern may also assit his/her international counterpart in providing support and guidance on a number of practical issues such as those related to local language, travels, etc.
As per the 1st January 2017, our Equal Opportunity Fee is 220$ US or 200 Euros per month.
