Previous volunteers
Rutsu Shikano
Legal volunteer, Canada, 2016
"After 4 years of working in private practice as an estate planning and corporate lawyer, I was eager to explore my passion again and decided to spend my holiday time volunteering abroad with Inherit Your Rights in Arusha. I never imagined that I could accomplish and be involved in so much in just a few short weeks. The team was incredibly supportive and helpful and the programs they have in place are well run but still offer freedom and flexibility."

Inge worked at the Supreme Court of the Netherlands assisting Justices in cases varying from tort law, government liability and family law. Inge volunteered with us as a legal researcher. She helped us develop educational materials for our training curriculum and research on the intersection between statutory and Maasai customary law.

Research volunteer, Netherlands, 2014
Lotte was undertaking a Bachelor Culture Anthropology and Development Sociology at Utrecht University when she volunteered with us in 2013 and 2014. She helped us with some key research on how certain aspects of tradition and culture can compromise human rights.
