Charlotte Bourdillon and The Kakenya Center for Excellence
Charlotte received her B.A. in Community Health and International Relations from Tufts University in 2010. Her academics have emphasized an anthropological perspective through the Nationalism, Culture, and Identity concentration.
In 2011, Charlotte will spend six months working on the Kakenya Center for Excellence in Enoosean, Kenya, where the education of underprivileged Maasai girls is quickly becoming a force for social change, and giving girls a voice in the community that they have never had before.
Charlotte is passionate about focusing on community strengths to achieve sustainable development driven by community engagement, interests that have led to her involvement in the Haitian health and community-led development initiative RESPE: Ayiti in the rural northern Haitian town of Balan. In the summer of 2009, she engaged with an indigenous women's weaving group in Temuco, Chile, interning for an organization that enables and helps to scale up their fair trade production in an effort to improve the condition of Mapuche women.
In addition, Charlotte has worked as an intern at Physicians for Human Rights in Cambridge, MA, where she collaborated on background material for a groundbreaking report on human rights violations in Burma. In the future she hopes to continue to study and explore her interests in the intersection of marginalized populations, health, and human rights.
