directly with HisR staff to develop and implement our projects and initiatives. Given the importance of interns to the
organization, HisR welcomes applications from different work and educational backgrounds in accordance to the current needs
of the organization.

An internship with us is a great chance to expand your skills, apply your education, and work directly in the field of African
politics and human rights. Yet, it is an even greater opportunity to learn from from the vast experiences of our Cameroonian
staff members and the constituents/beneficiaries of the organization.

Human Rights activists, meeting with officials who have the power to improve the situation in the prisons, organizing and
performing human and legal rights workshops to prisoners and prison officials, collaborating for prisoners' legal aid - and

HisR International Internship Fee:
As a local organization, Human IS Right charges a nominal fee for international internships for better facilitation,
coordination, supervision, and effectiveness. Internship prices vary depending on the length of the internship and
additional services requested. The internship fees listed below includes the cost of housing and work-based transportation.
Interns shall be responsible for their insurance and visa applications. Human IS Right will assist with a confirmation or
visa letter to facilitate the application process. The first month internship fee will need to be paid upon arrival due to
the necessary immediate logistical arrangements, accomodation, and transportation of the intern from the Douala International
airport to Buea.
We encourage internships that last three months or longer so that interns have enough time to adjust to Buea and to
understand the work and context of HisR and the Prisoners' Rights Project, since the Project requires consistency and
continuous work.
