Forwarded with good intention. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Chris <[email protected]> Date: Tue, Jun 23, 2009 at 12:50 PM Subject: [TwinCLinG] [COMMERCIAL] developer for microfinance application To: [email protected]
CARE is an international voluntary organization working for the socio-economic development of some of the most marginalized and economically challenged communities in over 65 countries. One of the strategies for alleviation of poverty is through promoting accessible credit for small enterprise to the rural poor. For efficient management, this requires a database application which can track community members' savings and loans. We are looking for developers who can provide a web-based solution towards this end. Specifically, we are looking for expertise in the LAMP stack. Experience in microfinance would be a definite advantage, although domain expertise would be provided by CARE staff. The software will be used by small, local NGOs whose staff may have only basic computer operating skills and therefore, requires a certain simplicity in the user interface. Those committed to using OSS to help fight poverty would be welcome. This is a good opportunity to be associated with an NGO and could be your contribution to fighting poverty. Although we would like this assignment to be taken up on a voluntary basis, CARE would certainly reimburse expenses incurred in the course of this assignment and also consider a compensation if you so insist.. This initiative will be coordinated by the CARE office in Chennai, but could also be done through our Hyderabad office if the person cannot travel to Chennai.
