Our Generation Voluntary Organisation offers Microfinance internships and volunteering opportunities in Ghana. Volunteers or interns will be placed in a unique position to assist with microfinance initiatives. These initiatives, typically implemented by the government and other institutions, are geared toward reducing urban and rural poverty.
Volunteers and interns will participate by examining loan applications, filling out and balancing the daily ledger, leading exit interviews for individuals who are doing replaying, keeping track of beneficiary profiles and standing, as well as paying visits to beneficiaries in order to assess their progress and collect payments.
For longer-term volunteers, they will be able to analyze reports in a more in-depth manner as they project long-term financial growth, review microfinance loan policy and procedure, and help to create new microfinance initiatives.

In the time that I spent in Ghana, I became a totally integrated member of the host family and of the community. But also in the office, my colleagues at work integrated my very well in their team, in their daily routine and all the work.
Overall this was an amazing experience. My program placement organization completed different work than I was expecting initially coming over, but exposed me to the true microfinance industry within Ghana. The individuals that I worked with daily welcomed me with open arms and were there to teach me all they could every day. Definitely have learned a lot throughout my 3 weeks in Ghana. Frank was also a huge part in why I had such a good experience. He was consistently there to ensure I was adjusting well and was comfortable in all situations. He went above and beyond and I am thankful for him during my time here. The only slight drawback during my time here was my living situation. I was often asked for things and did not feel completely comfortable here at all times which made the adjustment initially difficult. Other than that amazing experience!
