At Project Everest Ventures, our purpose is to solve the world’s issues using enterprise, and we develop sustainable business solutions to tackle problems including food security and agricultural practice, social consulting, health, and environmental sustainability.
Undertaking an internship with Project Everest Ventures exposes you to the experience of building a social enterprise in a developing country from a grassroots level, learning and applying your skills to something aimed at creating genuine impact for real people.
Where?
We operate across Malawi, India, Timor Leste and Fiji developing a range of different ventures, dependent upon the needs of the communities. Our ventures grow with each month of operation as new trekkers and leaders continue the work of previous teams, ensuring that a sustainable, long term impact is implemented.
What will I be doing?
As a trekker with Project Everest, you will live and work in a close-knit, multidisciplinary team to develop a particular social venture project in country for at least a one-month period. Your team will be collaborating and engaging with local communities through hands-on, education workshops, co-design sessions, face-to-face engagement, and the application of a range empathy-based design thinking methodologies. Throughout this process, you will be challenged to operate using lean processes and limited resources, to guarantee a proof-of-concept, a functional prototype, and/or facilitate the implementation of the solution within the community.
