The partnership with Egerton University (http://www.egerton.ac.ke/) provided resources and access to opportunities that made this a successful internship. I was able to monitor courses, engage with the Gender Institute Student League, faculty, students, and staff. I was also able to gain access to staff and pregnant and lactating women at the Rift Valley Provincial General Hospital (PGH) in Nakuru. These opportunities allowed me to gain insight into the sociocultural and economic context of maternal and child health in this urban community. The networking element provided by this internship is invaluable as it would make it easier to conduct my PhD research project as I have established relationships with Egerton faculty and PGH staff.
