IT Intern, Zwedru, Liberia

by Unknown  |  at  3:23 AM

Tiyatien Health is pleased to announce openings for summer internships with its programs, partnerships and operations teams in Liberia.
These are unpaid internships but offer tremendous opportunity for professional growth while being part of shaping systems and executing strategies for lasting impact. Interns will be an integral part of our teams and will work closely with our teams in Monrovia, Zwedru and Ziah Town in Grand Gedeh County to advance our mission of saving lives in last mile villages of Liberia.
About Tiyatien Health
Founded by survivors of Liberia’s civil war, Tiyatien Health (known in the United States as Last Mile Health) is a start-up NGO that is redefining how post-conflict nations rebuild rural public health services. Filling the massive health worker shortage in rural post-conflict areas, we recruit and train villagers to serve as frontline health workers, delivering home-based primary care services in villages previously thought unreachable.
Tiyatien Health closely partners with the Liberian Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, Partners In Health, the Clinton Global Initiative, and Harvard Medical School, amongst others. Our frontline health worker model has been recognized by Draper Richards Kaplan, Echoing Green, the Mulago Foundation, PopTech! and the Forbes 400 Summit. We were recently featured by Forbes magazine as one of a small number of organizations with the potential to transform Liberia and countries throughout Africa.
