Volunteer Care Work Volunteering in India

Program Description

Care work abroad is one of the most worthwhile activities you can get involved in. Throughout the world, there are vast numbers of children who face disadvantaged circumstances such as neglect, under-education, and who are in need of general care and educational support.
Care placements are a chance for volunteers of all ages and experience levels to really make a difference to children who may otherwise have little or no mental stimulation in their lives. People are often unaware of the impact they can have on another person's life, with even the smallest gesture.
Care volunteers don’t need to be qualified or have previous experience. The only qualities that our volunteers need to possess are compassion for fellow human beings and a desire to improve the lives of those with domestic or physical circumstances less fortunate than their own.
General Care Volunteer Options.
General Care Projects are available in all of our destinations and are separated into various placement categories. These include:
• Care Centers and Kindergartens
• Special Needs
• Orphanages
• Elderly care
• Street children
• Psychology and Counselling centres
We also have additional Care Projects available in some destinations, such as HIV/AIDS, Equine Therapy, Canine Therapy, and Child Rights Initiative.
In some of our destinations, we also offer Care placements for volunteers who want to work with the elderly. Volunteers can help care for the elderly in Bangalore, Nepal, and Tamilnadu.
