Job Title: Country Director’s Office Intern (No Experience Jobs)
Organisation: GiveDirectly
Duty Station: Kampala & Field Locations (Isingiro/Nakapiripirit), Uganda
Compensation: Ugx. 500,000 gross per month.
About Organisation:
GiveDirectly is driving a re-evaluation of the assumptions underlying international philanthropy with a provocative model: we deliver donations directly to the extreme poor and let them decide what to do with them. This approach builds on two converging trends: the rapid spread of electronic last-mile payments solutions in the emerging markets, and the large body of experimental evidence showing that direct transfers are as or more cost-effective at reducing poverty than more traditional, top-down approaches. GiveDirectly’s field operations utilize state-of-the-art technology and business processes to deliver transfers securely, efficiently, and transparently. Our unorthodox approach – allowing the poor, and not the donor, to choose where they invest – has prompted debate in the popular press and among policy makers.
Internship Program Overview
We are seeking motivated and talented individuals to join our comprehensive internship program. This program offers hands-on experience, professional development, and the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to our GiveDirectly’s mission.
Program Duration: 2 months – July to August 2025
Location: Kampala & Field Locations (Isingiro/Nakapiripirit)
Compensation: Ugx. 500,000 gross per month.
