Microfinance Project in Tanzania with Projects Abroad

0 (0)Verified

Projects Abroad works with a local charity on a unique and effective microfinance program in Arusha. As part of this project, you will help entrepreneurs and small businesses in Tanzania gain access to financing, but the project goes beyond just financial support. On this project you will also help business people improve and grow their business model. Working with a local partner organization, you will help direct funding and support into a wide variety of local, sustainable enterprises. One of the most successful organizations that volunteers have worked with is a small yogurt cooperative. The coop, run by women from a small rural village, produces probiotic yogurts which are particularly helpful for HIV sufferers undergoing treatment. On a daily basis you will be involved in tasks...

Program Highlights

Through this project you will gain unique insight into the process of developing small enterprises in a foreign country and how micro-credit can help disadvantaged communities.

You will spend time in a completely new environment, learning about a different culture and way of life. It will be a rewarding as well as a challenging experience.

This project runs all year round and you can join any time, but the minimum time commitment is two months.

We also recommend that you take a Swahili Language Course alongside this project - unless you already have some background in the language.
