Hello!
We are a non-profit organization located in a rural village in southern India. We started our work in 1993, committed to improving the welfare of society’s most marginalized groups of people.
We operate a farm that helps feed 30 children onsite. Work is needed to help with preparation of soil, sowing, adding manure and fertilizers, irrigation, harvesting and storage of crops as well as help maintaining the general grounds. Our farm has various animals that need rearing, feeding and produce collection. Our children, all affected by disease in one way or another, love dance parties and organized games as well as learning English and computer literacy. We would love for you to do one or all of these activities with them if you wish during your time with us.
These are all projects you can choose from please pick one or two and let us know which in your initial email to us!
We are so excited to have you! Do not hesitate to contact us with any questions we are here to help!
Best wishes from the team.
