Life in these communities is unbelievably hard but by working with this well established NGO you can help make a real difference to the lives of people at the very bottom of Indian society. You could be working on any number of projects from environmental improvement and working with self help groups to teaching English to local children. You don’t need any specific skills, just the energy and enthusiasm to do what you can to make life better. Working in the poorest areas of Jaipur this project offers the opportunity to work in a number of Community activities. The work is led by a local NGO that is involved in social development including education, health, women’s empowerment and vocational training. Their key aim of improving the condition of peoples lives at the slum. The NGO has been working in these areas for at least a couple of years. It began with coaching children, vocational training and work with adolescents but is constantly looking to increase its work and improve, for example, setting up a school for the local children. There is so much to do to help improve the lives of people living in India’s slums. The quality of life is low, education is almost non-existent and people do not know how to help themselves. Volunteers are needed to help the NGO in the work that they do and to provide a helping hand in all areas. This project is based in Jaipur, known as the Pink City.
