Description:

Foundation for Sustainable Development (FSD) is a non-profit working to reduce global poverty by providing over 300 grassroots community partners with training and key resources to address pressing socioeconomic issues.

FSDs Internship training program is highly immersive, bringing students, professionals, and retirees on-site to support critical initiatives. Rather than work on aid-based, short-term projects, participants collaborate with community partners to enhance local capacity to address health, social, environmental, and economic issues.

All programs include: orientation, family homestay, language and grassroots development trainings, seed Grant + access to additional funding for strong projects, hands-on project development experience, debriefing sessions and cultural activities.

FSD Sites are located in India, Kenya, Uganda, Nicaragua, Bolivia, and Argentina.
