We're looking forward to participating in Google Summer of Code for our tenth year. In 2020, we worked with 17 interns from across the world who are continuing to make substantial contributions to our community. We hope to continue building our next generation of contributors who are joining in our movement to fight poverty through open source software. We want you to be part of our mission of creating a world of 3 Billion Maries.  

Students in 2021 will have the option to work on a variety of projects related to our end to end open source stack for digital financial services including open source core banking, real-time payments integration with Mojaloop, digitizing government to person payments, mobile money and Open Banking APIs, and our suite of cutting edge and web and mobile apps. Participating interns will get to work on our brand new front-end Mifos X web app built on Angular, our suite of mobile apps including field officer apps and mobile banking apps for Fineract and Fineract CN, our mobile wallet and integrations with the GSMA mobile money API and Open Banking API.  We will once again have projects related to our new Payment Hub EE which provides a bridge and connection to real-time payment systems like Mojaloop and for the first time be working with students on OpenG2P, the initiative we've helped to launch to digitize large scale government cash transfer programs. You'll also have the opportunity to build new tools like chatbots and machine learning-based scorecards on the platform.

In addition, we'll be working with students on both our Apache Fineract 1.x platform for financial inclusion and our cloud-native Apache Fineract CN application framework for digital financial services. 

The best way to understand what we do is to watch a few videos. 

• What is the Mifos Initiative and how does it advance financial inclusion to the poor?

• What is Mifos X?

• How is the Mifos X platform designed?

• Watch how Mifos technology is helping end world poverty

• What do GSoC students work on for Mifos?

• What is it like being a GSoC intern for Mifos?

We have a talented and passionate group of mentors from across our global community who are eager to help guide the next generation of HFOSS contributors. These mentors come from various backgrounds - partners deploying Mifos, financial institutions using Mifos, volunteers, and even former GSOC students but they all share a common goal of ending poverty one line of code at a time!
