“I really enjoyed working on women empowerment through Shake Hands - International Volunteer Program at Jaipur location. The women of the village were fantastic and gave me a taste of real India” -  Karen, England


 

Women Empowerment

A major part (60%) of population of India resides in the villages. The situation of these villages is very worst and undeveloped, residents are backward and uneducated; among them women’s are the most sufferer as they do not have any knowledge and awareness for health, nutrition and hygiene.

Due to illiteracy and unawareness the women are not aware of their health problems, nutrition and hygiene and sometime due to these factors they get into many problems like high-risk ailments, high rate of child mortality, permanent disabilities STD, HIV & AIDS which all ends up the life.

Our organization have started various campaigning and awareness programs among these people by educating them and giving general awareness to improvise their living through “Women Empowerment Program” with the support of volunteers. Volunteers are encouraging these women to get educated up to the extent that they may easily perform their day by day activities and to make them aware about the general health, hygiene and nutrition for their children and for themselves. In addition to this we also encourage them for proper vaccinations and preventive measures for various diseases including HIV and AIDS. Volunteers also help out in organizing free health checkup camps in the villages to provide them consultation, medicines, vaccinations, contraceptives etc. so that they can avail the facilities and get benefited.

Women Empowerment India volunteer program available at Dharmshala, Jaipur, Rural Rajasthan, Delhi and Bangalore locations.
