Volunteer teaching in India

Do you want to join an international volunteer program?, but you don’t know in which country? It could be India. Although it has been a country that has made improvements in the education sector, half of its population still lives in situations of poverty and inequality. Access to education for some children and youth is limited; mainly in the areas where “Slums” social exclusion families live.   

The  teaching volunteer program in India takes place at the center located in Jaipur. Through the program, support is provided to orphaned children, street children, children who have been kidnapped by gangs and forced to work or are simply abandoned by their parents.  

As much as possible, we try to provide accommodation, food and education for children and young people with difficulties through many activities and the program of teaching volunteer program in India.
