Women’s Development Volunteering

Microfinance Internship

A Microfinance Internship in India is for interns who would like to experience the country from a unique perspective of international development. This is a great opportunity for international interns to get an idea of how small businesses need assistance through microfinance, development training, and community support. There are elements of research, field based visits, and implementation where interns can work with underprivileged communities to test how microloans are affecting their lives. The idea is to facilitate the process of becoming independent and breaking out of the debt trap for many small business owners (especially women).


Some of what you will get involved in:

  • Management of Funds
  • Field visits to slum communities
  • Running Training programs
  • Interviewing for Loans
