Volunteering in India is a fantastic way to learn from people in need and experience the
world’s most colorful country. Volunteering with our local partner Women’s Education for Development Trust (WED Trust) is a learning experience where you as a volunteer can get hands on experience to a large variety of development programs within the beautiful state of Tamil Nadu.
These programs are organized to give maximum opportunities to the volunteers to visit project locations, to interact with the communities, learn about different development approaches and tools that are responsible to the environment and the people and to understand the cultural and social settings in which these happen.
