About the Orphanage Care Program

In this program you support children living in small group homes and orphanages in and around Jaipur. Many of these children have lost one or both parents or come from difficult family situations and need a safe place to grow up.

Your presence brings routine, warmth and extra attention into their daily life. You assist local staff with simple, everyday tasks and help create a positive, encouraging atmosphere for the children.

Your Role as a Volunteer

• Spend time with children through games, stories, art and sports.
• Help with homework, reading practice and simple educational activities.
• Support daily routines such as meal times, getting ready for school and tidy-up time.
• Organise small group activities that build confidence and teamwork.
• Be a steady, friendly adult the children can talk to and trust.

Who Can Join

This program is suited to calm, reliable people who are comfortable around children and teenagers. You do not need professional social work experience. A stable personality, emotional maturity and respect for house rules are essential.

Location & Stay

Partner orphanages and children’s homes are based in Jaipur and nearby areas. You stay in a guest house or host family with other volunteers. Rooms are simple but clean, and meals are cooked in a homely Indian style.

Dates & Duration

Start dates are on the 1st and 15th of every month. You can join from 2 weeks up to 6 months, depending on your availability and visa. Longer stays allow you to build deeper relationships with the children.

What’s Included

• Pickup from Jaipur (or from Delhi by prior arrangement).
• Orientation about the city, culture and child protection guidelines.
• Accommodation and meals during your placement.
• Local coordination, regular check-ins and support on site.

Free Time

Evenings and weekends are usually free. You can explore Jaipur’s palaces and bazaars, visit nearby villages or plan short trips with other volunteers during your time off.

If you would like your visit to India to mean stability and kindness for children who have had a difficult start in life, the orphanage care program offers a very direct way to contribute.
