Janani Home for Girls
This home was established to create a safe and structured environment where underprivileged—and in many cases, traumatized—girls have the opportunity to focus on their studies and develop individually. Because girls are often neglected in Indian society, this Home is incredibly important for the improvement of their lives, creating more opportunities in their futures.
Having volunteers to work with the girls is invaluable. The girls have the opportunity to increase their self-worth, as well as improve their English and gain a variety of new skills. Each volunteer has introduced something new and different to the girls. For example, some have conducted…

Social Awareness Programs
Education on subjects such as health, human rights, and environmentalism is vitally important for the underprivileged in India. Many urban and rural poor don't know the rights afforded to them by the government or how to prevent HIV/AIDS. Additionally, environmental awareness is often a neglected cause in India, creating devastating side effects for the environment and the quality of life. Volunteers can research issues and prepare presentations to present to women's microfinance groups or the children's groups, with the assistance of a staff person to translate. Past volunteers have created awareness programs on: HIV/AIDS, nutrition, health and hygiene, diabetes treatment and prevention, cancer prevention, mental illness, women's rights, child rights, child labor laws, domestic violence, environmental issues, and many more.
Organisation Management
An extremely important role of support that Prime Trust is looking for is that of organisation and management. This is particularly beneficial for you if you are looking for an internship opportunity. Particularly If you have a background of business or management, we offer the opportunity for you to help us with developing Prime Trust through organisation and implementing new projects and procedures. This will involve working closely with our staff members, creating the appropriate documentation and project plans, and will regularly enable personal development via pitching new ideas and methods to the team for example.
Teaching English
In India the English language is widely used, especially in relation to business and professional endeavors. By teaching underprivileged women and children this valuable skill this project is creating opportunities for them to become more financially independent, giving them the chance to improve their futures. English is taught in local schools, but children struggle with speaking, conversational English, and simple confidence in their language skills. Projects can always use volunteers as English teachers, and the experience can be very rewarding. Volunteers certainly do not need to have previous experience teaching, as any exposure to English increases an individual's ability to speak the language. There are also opportunities to help local NGO staff improve their English skills.
