Internship opportunities
If you are a student/development professional/any
individual with an interest in social development, and if you wish to volunteer/work/contribute to a developing country read
on......
Many of the developing countries have a number of
NGOs and other development related organizations, however many of them over the years do not really concentrate on the original
goals and objectives, or due to change in leaderships the focus of work changes and real impacts decline.
But there are a large portion or small NGOs at the
grass roots who do a great job but they lack technical and even financial expertise.
The aim of this initiative is to bring you (and expert
or a student who can make a difference and is highly motivated) closer to an NGO who needs your assistance/expertise. The
benefit is mutual as the learning process is mutual too.
The Development CAFE has tie ups with many NGOs and
Research Insitutions across countries in South Asia and in Africa. However,
Presently this internship opportunities is available
only in India. It will soon be expanded to Africa as well.
