A placement in India with Project Trust offers a unique and life-changing experience. It invites you to develop your skills and interests and apply them to community focused projects in an incredibly diverse and dynamic country, and learn from its rich culture.
India is a tapestry of contrasts, from the fast-paced cities, where tech hubs and bustling markets coexist, to the quiet, picturesque villages where traditions are deeply respected and life moves at a slower pace. The vast geography of India will add an extraordinary sense of adventure and discovery to your time here.
India’s cultural heritage is rich and varied, shaped by millennia of history, spirituality, and artistic traditions. As a Project Trust volunteer, you’ll have the chance to truly immerse yourself in this culture, whether by participating in vibrant festivals, learning regional languages, or building close bonds with community members. The warmth of Indian hospitality is unparalleled, and you’ll quickly find yourself welcomed and valued.
