Female Empowerment

Our "Female Empowerment" program offers a unique experience for volunteers to positively affect the lives of young women in the rural areas of Jaipur. Volunteers spend the afternoons teaching these young women communication skills, basic skills for their future career or educational paths, computer skills, along with many other encouraging lessons. These positive interactions help build up the confidence in these young women. Through this program, we strive to offer a changing outlook on life for growing girls in a society that is lacking the understanding of the equal importance of a girl's value in life. While empowering these girls, volunteers will find empowerment and purpose in their own lives as well.

A day in the life of a volunteer

On working days, volunteers usually get up and have breakfast before leaving for their Volunteer Placements. Our staff will provide transportation to and from your Volunteer Placement if required. You will probably spend about four hours at your Volunteer Placement. Evenings will be filled with opportunities to learn about the local culture and customs, field trips to places of local interest, discussions with experts on local issues and others. Evening meal-times provide another exciting chance to enjoy authentic food provided by host family/our staff cooks. The food is delicious and healthy and takes full advantage of local cooking traditions.

Volunteer's Story
