Placements

The placements on offer are based in New Delhi; Dehra Dun, Kumaon (both in Uttarakhand, previously known as Uttaranchal); and Rajasthan.

The projects are all broadly development-related, and range from working with research and action-oriented NGOs, to helping children with special needs. 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.
