Yes! You can come with friends, small or larger groups and make a great contribution together.

Of course!
How about coming alone?
That’s also perfectly fine; you’ll find that you’ll make friends very quickly at the volunteering Place.
Preparation, before coming to India
Do I need experiences, special skills to be a volunteer at Diksha Volunteer?
No, you don’t need particular skills. We are happy to welcome everyone that is enthusiastic and driven to help other people. It’s necessary to speak English if coming here, but it’s perfectly fine if English is your second language. You’ll also be able to improve your level of English here, as you’ll be speaking it here constantly.
Can I do anything to prepare for the volunteering work at home?
You don’t need to prepare, everything will be explained at your program orientation.
Can I bring materials for the projects?
You could bring some writing materials etc for your use. Other program material will be provided by us.
Money matters
what currency is used in India?
Indian rupee. You can check the exchange rates online, as they constantly change.
How much money shall I bring?
That’s all up to you. Prices in India are definitely low compared to the prices in your home country. But never take too much money with you, you can always get more money from a ATM if needed. It’s advisably to bring your debit card and a credit card as well, so in case one of them dysfunctions.

Yes, in most cities this possibility is provided. All major currencies can be exchanged for rupees.

No, you can’t. In the home filtered water is provided.
What about the food, is it safe to eat?
Definitely! Our cooks take great care in preparing your (vegetarian!!) meals. Be careful with street foods though.
After the project

Yes you can! We are always looking for sponsors for the orphanage children to enable them to go to a good school and have a good chance on a better future. We are still welcoming donations to buy furniture, toys, uniforms, textbooks etc.
