Volunteer in India

Volunteer for Women Empowerment in India -

 

Volunteer in India: India is one of the fastest growing economies of the world. Though its women have made rapid strides in every walk of life and done their country proud, yet very often incidents of atrocities committed on them are reported by the media. There are many women who at some time in their life have experienced physical, sexual or emotional abuse. A large number of non-government organizations, besides the efforts put in by the government have come forward to help the battered and disadvantaged women.

A number of women homes have been set up to shield women from the wrong doings of the society and to restore their last sense of pride and self respect. These resource strapped women homes badly need the services of volunteers to run their program. Volunteers provide counseling and monitoring and help women by teaching English, beautician work, yoga, stitching, sanitation and health education. They educate women about HIV/AIDS and other related issued. They make a big difference in their lives by sharing their love and warmth with the stressed inmates of the women homes.

Volunteers can provide guidance for nutritional and wholesome diet, assist the local staff in organizing adult literacy classes for women. They can also help in setting up an informal judicial system for the redressal of cases of domestic violence, marital discord, dowry demands etc.

Volunteers interested in the cause of upliftment of the disadvantaged women and willing to give them love, care and warmth, would find our women support project very fulfilling and rewarding.
