Working closely with local communities we have mobilized women self help groups in villages. Through these groups we have nurtured and supported women
entrepreneurship initiatives to economically support their families and spread awareness within villages. We also work with teenage girls in public schools where we assist in development of their soft skills and critical health issues.
As a volunteer you will have an opportunity to exchange ideas, better understand the role a typical woman has in our society and join in their social & economic upliftment.

Volunteers are expected to be creative and skillful so they can implement need based workshop for girls about adolescence education, personality development, career counseling etc. They will also be attending meetings of Self-help Groups (SHGs) and interact with women to better understand their plight and assist them to be economically independent.

Additional activities will include learning of various developmental issues and solutions. They will visit various humanitarian projects and interact with the villagers.

The project will offer a mix of cultural immersion, eco trekking and understanding community life. Three activities are planned. In cultural immersion, three sites will be covered: 1: Haripur or Joharji Gurudwara (an age old temple of Sikhism religion importance where people visit to take blessings and fulfill their wishes), 2: Hanuman Mandir (probably the oldest Lord Monkey Temple) and 3: Snake Temple. All these places are historical but do not figure on international tourist map.
A short eco-trek will also be planned involving a cleanliness drive.

During the camp, a community grass roots experience sharing session will also be planned where they would participate and learn from our ongoing initiatives like NFE, women empowerment, NRM (Protection of fresh water sources), organic farming etc.
