The
placements on offer are mainly based in New Delhi, with one project
in Dehra Dun and two in Kumaon (both located in the northern state of
Uttarakhand, previously known as Uttaranchal).
The
projects are all broadly development-related, and range from working
with research and action-oriented NGOs, to helping children with
special needs and HIV-AIDS. The host organisations focus largely on
issues associated with sustainable development, natural resource
management, safe water and sanitation, mountain development and human
rights.
The estimated financial costs for each project are provided on the pages that describe each placement in detail. These have been calculated based on estimates provided by the host organisations. A breakdown of these costs will be provided once the volunteers are selected. Personal expenses, vaccinations and insurance costs will be additional to these project costs. Volunteers should budget for these additional costs, as appropriate for their own circumstances.
