To be a part of this program, the volunteer should have a flair for writing, excellent grammar and strong communication skills.Milaap raises funds for people in need of micro-loans for basic needs like water, sanitation, lighting and vocational training. Milaap works with field partners who are typically NGO’s & microfinance institutions that help Milaap to identify borrowers (loan applicants) who are in need. Due to lack of resources, the field partners are unable to present the borrower data as engaging stories that can be posted on our website.That’s where we need you to step in. The data we have about a loan applicant, or a group of borrowers needs to be presented in the form of personal, engaging loan stories like this one here, or any of the stories you will find on www.milaap.org/fund.
