My Travel Story

by: Priyanka Jayrad Start Date: May 3, 2023 - End Date: Nov 2, 2023
I am raising funds to help with paying for my Programme Fee and flights for my Womens Education Volunteer work in Kerala which I will be doing in October this year for 1 week.

As a volunteer on the Women’s Education project in Kerala, I will be working on local initiatives that support and educate women and girls in the Fort Kochi community to develop their English skills, build their confidence and grow their leadership capacity. Women in India face a wide range of social inequalities and many women do not have the opportunity to complete their education or enter the workforce because of an early marriage and a very conservative family environment.

The aim of the Women’s Education project is to work with these women and girls to improve their English ability so those that wish to, are in a better position to gain paid employment and secure a better future for themselves. This volunteer project primarily supports women aged 20-60 years old and occasionally males in the communitympowerment voluntary work with IVHQ in Kerala. 

Any contribution would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
