Foundation for Sustainable Development

Currently, I am working with an organization called Foundation for Sustainable Development (FSD).

FSD is a non-profit organization based in San Francisco that supports the work of local Non Governmental Organizations (NGO) in the developing world through volunteer placements and grant making projects. FSD places volunteers from the US with internships in Asia, Africa, and South America. Volunteers work with local NGOs to implement a project during the internship with technical support from FSD staff.

Programs offered are:

• microfinance
• health
• environment
• youth and education
• women's empowerment
• community development
• human rights

For my internship, I will be focusing in the area of microfinance and working with a local organization called South Buganda Teachers SACCO (savings and credit co-operative).
