We work hard to ensure that our volunteering opportunities are truly affordable. We are 100% transparent with our fees – something our volunteers really appreciate. Our structured programs create the perfect platform for you to see the world, meet like-minded people and engage in meaningful volunteering work. We have teams throughout our local destinations who will support you 24/7. Furthermore, every project is regularly risk-assessed by our management team to ensure our set up is safe and that our volunteers are making a positive impact in the community There is also a great social element to our opportunities. Even if you’re travelling alone, you’re going to meet heaps of people along the way and make friends for life. Plus you’ll have plenty of opportunity to travel the country with your newfound travel buddies – it’s all part of the Sadreshya volunteer experience! .

SAFETY

If you have not travelled much before, it is really hard to know what to expect. When anticipating their time overseas, many international volunteers (and their loved ones) are often concerned about safety and security. Every program that we offers has been personally inspected and selected by a director of Sadreshya. We have lived in the accommodation, experienced the orientation and worked on the projects. Through our frequent visits and daily communications, we have built strong, trusting relationships with our local staff.

Projects are monitored on an on-going basis to gauge volunteers’ experiences. With the help of volunteer feedback, we are able to continually improve our placements and volunteer opportunities. Security and safety are frequently assessed as part of this. We ask our participants to raise any concerns with our local Team or on website. This ensures that these can be addressed and resolved as readily and appropriately as possible.

Through pre-departure and in-country guidance, we do our best to prepare our international volunteers for their time in India. All participants are provided with a comprehensive safety briefing during their orientation period. Our local teams will go through everything from project introductions, to emergency procedures, how to use local transport and cultural differences. During this period, our team also provide participants with a full list of the important contact numbers.
