Intern Abroad / Microfinance
Microfinance has the power to transform the developing world. Work to create a sustainable path to economic independence for individuals, families and communities. You can help develop the infrastructure and systems needed for microfinance opportunities or work one-on-one with locals. Give developing communities the tools needed to market and sell their goods and services on the global stage.
Whichever internship path you choose, you'll be making a difference for entire communities.
