Volunteer Programs in Jaipur, India

Volunteer in a center that was born as an orphanage, but being located in a slum with no other educational facilities, children from the surrounding area started coming when they saw others learning and engaging in activities, and they eventually were incorporated into the classes and they come to the school to learn, eat, and spend the day. Volunteers mainly help with teaching English, Maths etc. They also organize recreational activities such as singing, dancing, drawing, and more!

This volunteer program seeks to provide healthcare to homeless people in Jaipur’s various slums. Given their conditions, many people are reluctant to look after them, so a health centre conceived for homeless people was created, and the volunteer will work caring for these people, conducting regular medical checks and helping them recover from their addictions. It also has its own mobile unit, running a healthcare route in different slums of Jaipur, providing check-ups and medicine.

The teaching volunteer program takes place in schools in the rural areas, where the standard of education is severely lacking. Volunteers will follow the curriculum that is implemented in the schools for the various subjects. The volunteer will help deliver English, maths, art and PE classes in primary schools, while helping local teachers to develop their teaching methods. They will help the students to improve their communication skills such as drawing, painting, dancing and music.

This is a very special program for football lovers and volunteers who wish to help run sports activities. Volunteers will attend the training sessions of children, some of whom have special needs (whether physical or mental). The volunteer program is developed in a football academy in Jaipur, which has been working with children in the community for a number of years and that has won titles and trophies, helping motivate the young people and instil values such as effort and team spirit.

While India continues to grow economically and technologically on a daily basis, the true emancipation of Indian women remains a long way off. Sadly, they continue to suffer from discrimination and injustice in all stages of their life. Volunteers will work in a centre where around 15 women attend on a daily basis, receiving a basic education and participating in a series of workshops, training them in different skills. This will help them find a good job or even start a business.
