The Volunteer Programme
This project is situated in the city of Jaipur, an exquisite blend of modern and traditional India.
Urbanisation has taken hold of India in a big way, leading to a big increase in the size of urban areas. As a direct result of this, India’s animal population are suffering – the areas that they once inhabited have now been given over to development. This new environment is unfamiliar and unfriendly for the animals, leaving them far more vulnerable to disease and mistreatment as well as increasing how undernourished they are.
The main animals that you will be involved in rescuing will include; donkeys, dogs, cats, cows, elephants, monkeys and camels.
