Global Mifos Summit

CodersTrust provides microfinance for underprivileged talents to upgrade their coding skills, so they can earn more money on freelance portals. It is an initiative backed by the development fund Danida, or Danish International Development Agency, to provide microfinance for students in emerging nations who want to upgrade their programming skills. The hope of founder, Copenhagen-born entrepreneur Ferdinand Kjærulff, is that these students are empowered to sell their work internationally via freelance portals such as Odesk, Elance and Freelancer. The team is currently operating in Dhaka, Bangladesh, where it collaborates with Grameen Bank, which is renowned for its part in revolutionising the microfinance industry.
