I am so thankful for this opportunity! As stressful and tiring as the volunteering was, every bit of hardship was made up by the joy I’ve felt from knowing that I have made a difference, however small it may seem. Seeing the girls' faces light up at learning something new was so rewarding. I have and will continue to recommend the program to friends. The accommodation was good. I loved the food! It was healthy, delicious, and authentic! No complaints! I absolutely recommend the program. We were so lucky to work with the grassroots organization. We know that the money and effort we put in goes directly to those who need it.

I really enjoyed my five weeks here. It was even better than expected. The women empowerment programme was great and the volunteer house in a really good location. Jaipur particularly was a great base to explore Rajasthan and its surrounding cities and attractions. Also, I think Sankalp is good value compared to other volunteer programmes and definitely has more of a charity focus, rather than a business feel. The Sankalp team seems to genuinely care about the work programs and the people they are benefiting. Food was delicious. All the staff was great. Organizers are great at holding everything together. I will definitely recommend Sankalp to my friends and family, and I may come back next year!!

While my time on the program was very short (just 2 weeks), I really enjoyed this opportunity to work with women and girls on empowerment initiatives. I enjoyed learning more about the lives, challenges, and realities of women in this region, and helping them develop skills and confidence to set goals and achieve them. It was a wonderful experience to live like locals do and learn about Indian culture. I found Jaipur an interesting location—rich history, beautiful sites, and friendly people. Accommodation and food were very good. Comfortable rooms, beds, and house. The food was authentic style and delicious. I would recommend Sankalp to others. Thank you for making this wonderful!
