(emails, calls), as well as the amount of independent work meant that I was able to create a health work/life balance. Lasting Impressions The internship benefitted from previous rounds of interns, meaning they knew what they wanted out of the internship from the get-go, and I hit the ground running. My supervisor encouraged me to voice my thoughts on the weaknesses and strengths of the organization and its current grant funding and communications plan. Because of this support, I took on many responsibilities and felt I made a lasting impact to the organization. I am still in contact with them and look forward to any future projects they may need my help with.
NASIO TRUST Chloe Curtis, Keble College, Second Year Postgraduate, MPhil Medical Anthropology, Remote working Work Projects I was a strategy intern at the Nasio Trust, working specifically towards increasing income generation at their medical centre in Musanda, a rural area of Kenya. My main tasks involved using data provided and information from the medical team to learn and document how the medical centre is run, how it generates income, and analyse the different income streams with an aim to recommend areas that the medical centre could improve income generation and financial performance, with targets and steps to achieve them. By collating information from numerous different financial reports, I was able to highlight any inconstancies and discrepancies in the reporting styles that were preventing the medical centre from being able to determine its financial status. I designed new financial templates, including profit and loss statements, to be used by the medical centre to record their performance more accurately.
