Description

In the search for practical measures to alleviate poverty and its debilitating impact on humanity and the planet, the microfinance movement offers a set of powerful tools in the service of social and economic development. The program provides interns with an in-depth understanding of microfinance and allows them to contribute/learn based on their specific subject and expertise. The internship provides a 4-week placement in one or many microfinance institutions based in Mumbai. Activities will include field trips, market research, data collection, documentation and observation.

Highlights

Get first-hand experience working with a micro-finance institution based in Mumbai. There's simply no other word that convincingly captures the enigma that is India. With its in-your-face diversity, from snow-dusted mountains to sun-washed beaches, tranquil temples to feisty festivals, lantern-lit villages to software-supremo cities, it's hardly surprising that this country has been dubbed the world's most multidimensional. Love it or loathe it, and most visitors see-saw between the two, India promises to jostle your entire being, and no matter where you go or what you do, it's a place you'll never forget.

Academic credit now available, up to 6 credits for summer programs and up to 15 for semester programs.
