The programme in Jaipur consists of eight different project areas it assists a wide variety of people and causes. Orphans, disadvantaged and disabled children, young girls, women and children suffering from AIDS, etc. Since there are so many projects that need help, volunteers are always placed where they're most needed and where they're particularly suited.
Across their operations the project Organisation employ over 100 local people, both at the head office in Jaipur, but also in their volunteer camps in Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan and Goa. Female volunteers are encouraged to buy local clothes from the market before they begin their placements. Volunteers often use public transport to get to their project every day as well.
Volunteers are educated on general cultural dos and don’ts throughout their induction and orientation. They're also taught about project specific issues such as the dowry, which is now illegal in India. The Project Organisers work with a range of projects, some of which they've sent up themselves, and others, which are pre-existing charities that they help to support.
Due to the work of the projects there has been a noticeable increase in school attendance, and in the numbers of children going on to higher education.
We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
