Kenyan Intern for UK Cheshire Service

Joyce Zawadi Mwambire is the first East African to take up a CHIIPS placement in the UK. Joyce is a Kenyan studying a Bachelor of Science Degree in International Business Administration with a focus on marketing and management at the United States International University (USIU) in Nairobi.

Zawadi will be the Marketing Researcher for the Care at Homes Service in Hitchin, Hertfordshire for a six month period commencing in October 2008. Her main roles will include marketing the service to potential customers; developing a positive media profile; research on competitors and gathering of market knowledge and last bunt not least assisting in the compilation of newsletters and other promotional materials.

We would like to wish Zawadi all the best in her placement and hope that she will come back to Kenya with a greater understanding of disability and development issues and that she will become a great campaigner on the rights of disabled people in the workplace.
