THINKmf | A Microfinance Discussion Network
Started by an independent study course at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, THINK Microfinance is a portal where students and professionals interested in sustainable social development through microfinance can share their intellectual wealth, including microfinance knowledge, resources and experiences. Please share!Aug 30 : Return from India
Two groups of students from the University of Pennsylvania spent approximately one month of their summers in India — one working for Grameen Koota in Bangalore for the month of May, and the other working for Grama Vidiyal in Trichy for the month of August.
The May Bangalore group researched the feasibility of individualized loans on behalf of Grameen Koota. The August Trichy group (1) worked with Intellecap to value operations and (2) provided on-site feedback and suggestions for operational improvement. More updates are soon to follow, including the May group’s final research report.
