Educate Underprivileged Children in India

About Program
Here at Prime Trust we believe that education is vital for the alleviation of poverty.
We currently run:
- Remedial schools; where you have the opportunity to teach English to children from low-income backgrounds. These classes occur after school, supporting their schooling during the day. As well as improving their second language skills, these classes also boost the self-confidence of the children. If you are proficient or specialise in another subject, you are welcome to run such classes as well.
- Janani Home for Girls; an orphanage which we run, providing food, shelter and support for young girls born into deprivation. Here you have the opportunity to carry out activities and classes with the girls. Past volunteers have conducted music classes, yoga, meditation, arts and crafts, gardening, English classes and more. We welcome you to share any interests or skills that you have with the girls, providing experiences and education which aren't available at school.
Consider your impact: Volunteering abroad can be a rewarding experience for both volunteers and local communities, and at Go Overseas, we believe all volunteers should have the resources to make informed decisions about the type of volunteer project they want to partake in. However, despite best intentions, some organizations offering placements in orphanages may unknowingly place children in danger. You can read about the potential dangers of orphanage volunteering here. Learn more about how Prime Educational and Social Trust is promoting ethical volunteering.
