The Society Empowerment Project (SEP) is a local organization which promotes community development and female empowerment through sports. It is based in Oyugis in Nyanza Province of Western Kenya, close to Lake Victoria.

In the context of increasing HIV/AIDS education, a group of volunteers from Oyugis founded SEP in 2004 to support their community by enhancing human resource capacity building. Using football to attract young people, SEP provides training in sports, health, life skills, leadership, management, administration and democratic principles. SEP works closely with AIDS awareness and treatment groups as well as local schools to provide young people with training to reduce the level of infection. In addition, the organization provides a rape victim care service and support in case of drug abuse. It runs other community programs promoting decentralized agriculture as well.

GLEN participants will support the organization in maintaining its website and in producing diverse public relations and marketing material. For this, they will take pictures of and film various events organized by SEP and edit the material themselves. Participants will also contribute in producing the organization's monthly printed magazine and work on resource mobilization, especially fundraising for the SEP annual event held every August.

SEP expects participants to have a good command of spoken and written English. Prior experience in video shooting, editing, photography as well as web design and/or web development is required. In addition, experience with football coaching and working with children and young adults is highly welcome.

The scheduled time for the internship is July to September 2012.

Training and seminars prior to the internship will be held in English. The tandem will be formed by a Latvian participant and a German/Swiss participant.
