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.
