Microfinance Volunteer Programs

As the world changes from an agrarian society to one where business and ingenuity reign supreme, microfinance programs have become a vital resource for families in developing nations. Many small companies in countries around the world are facing financial struggles, and microcredit loans are literally a life-saver for many, helping businesses survive and making an ethical impact on the way the world works. Microfinance volunteers will learn financial management basics, the global impacts of microcredit programs, and score valuable experience in the field of business, all while traveling abroad and making new personal, meaningful connections.

A Guide to Microfinance Volunteer Programs Abroad

Why Volunteer Abroad

Nearly half of the world’s population lives in poverty, with children making up nearly one third of that group. Organizations that provide microcredit loans seek to help families in poverty become self-sufficient and able to provide for themselves and their children, long after the loan has been repaid.

Low-income families often lack the credit history or collateral needed to take out essential loans to increase their income or develop a sustainable livelihood. By volunteering abroad and assisting organizations that support microcredit programs, you will be taking a big step toward helping the world become a better place to live for thousands of families, while also helping individuals achieve their dreams.

Microfinance volunteer programs will give individuals the chance to learn the ins-and-outs of microfinancing on an international level, which means they will become more knowledgeable about international business practices and more open-minded and innovative when it comes to business development too. Microcredit volunteer opportunities will not only allow you to help locals learn how to develop a productive livelihood, it will also expose you to new business philosophies and experiences that will be useful in your career.
