Venice Microfinance Initiative

When executives asked members what they would like more during their experience with the club, our fellow students expressed the will to be involved in something of real impact.The good thing was that we already had that in mind.Our fresh and innovative project was inspired by successful activities carried out by the Melbourne Microfinance Initiative, a student society based at The University of Melbourne, Australia, which core activity consists in delivering pro-bono consulting to MFIs in South East Asia and in the Pacific Region.Their success, efforts and collaboration were essential to the development of the Venice Microfinance Initiative.AIMS:• Give our delegation of VMI students the best tools to operate, so that their work can be the most effective. • Ensure that our project is of real impact, targeting the most suitable MFIs in the proper countries.• Five months of collaboration with the MFI, during which our students will receive preliminary training and will have the change to do a 3-months internship at its headquarter.For more information:-vmi@invenicement.com-venicemicrofinanceinitiative@gmail.com
