Accounting for International Development (AfID) arrange tailored voluntary placements for accountants in overseas charities.
Grassroots organisations hugely benefit from financial coaching and support, and the improvement in capacity and sustainability can make the difference between staying afloat or closing down.
The experience, skills, and references that volunteers gain from our placements are often crucial for building a career in the NGO and charity sector:
“I've been offered a new role (as an Assistant Consultant in an International Project Group)... A large part of getting the role was the fact I had undertaken my placement through AfID, and I wouldn’t have had the confidence to apply for the role without going on the placement!”
– Stephen M, former volunteer at The Rain Tree Foundation, Thailand
If you are interested but unsure about working as an accountant in the International Development sector, AfID have places available on their regular workshops: Building NGO Capacity Through Financial Management.
AfID work with 130 charity partners in 24 countries and have placed hundreds of accountants in rewarding roles.
