International Development Internship

An International Development internship abroad with EduCARE India in south Asia is a great option for those seeking to gain experience in the field and work with NGOs.

Unfortunately, like most of the regions in the world, the development is not balanced, and there are many disadvantaged communities with people living well below the poverty line. Our NGO projects in rural India aim to help develop some systems and solutions for poverty alleviation, improvement in livelihoods, and rural eco economy development through various development programs.

This internship is suitable for anyone with a strong interest in the field. It will also be useful for student and recent under-graduates and graduates of business studies or development studies looking to add practical experience to their resumes. When you apply, please let us know if you have any experience or a special interest in any particular area.
