📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

FSL-India has been running work camps all over India since 2001. Over the years, FSL-India has developed a strong network of local partners and local volunteers in the regions where we conduct our camps. In every workcamp, FSL-India works in partnership with local NGOs since they are able to identify the problems and needs of the locality. This helps us achieve sustainability and a larger impact in the work that we do. Partnering with a local NGO also helps in reaching out to the local community. In addition, FSL-India works in various fields in cooperation with Archaeological Survey of India, Ministry of Women and Child Welfare, Ministry of Health, Education, Forest and Wildlife Departments and Local Self-governance Bodies.

💼 What the programme involves

FSL-India has been developing projects for many years in this region and has now formed a very strong network of local partners and local volunteers. We cooperate with a large number of government schools, orphanages, institutions for special education and the local authorities to develop projects that are meaningful for the development of this region. This workcamp will focus on the Toilets-Bathrooms for tribal families During this camp, we will construct 4 toilets-Bathroom for tribal families. Almost 50% of the tribal families in this region do not have proper toilets and in some cases, the families have no choice but to urinate and defecate in the open. This is not only unhygienic but is also inconvenient during the monsoon season. In rural areas like Hunsur, land is usually available for tribal families and what lacks is the financial resource to build a toilet. The family has been selected to ensure that the poor and needy families are the beneficiaries of the construction work.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Accommodation In a rented house, with shared rooms. The accommodation will be simple but comfortable and clean, so be prepared to live a simple lifestyle during these five weeks. We expect volunteers to keep the accommodation clean and tidy, during the workcamp. A cleaning team will be appointed every week and the volunteers will be responsible for cleaning the house daily. The accommodation has 2 rooms and 2 Halls. The 2 rooms can accommodate 8 people and the remaining will be accommodated in the Hall. Both the rooms have an attached toilet and bathroom. You are requested to bring a sleeping bag, as there are no cots and you will be sleeping on the floor. We will provide a sleeping mattress, pillow and bed-sheet. There is no availability of internet in the accommodation. The internet cafe is 15 minutes' walk able distance from the accommodation. The accommodation is located in a rural village so there will be power cuts in the accommodation. There is no washing machine facility in the house. However, there is a provision to wash clothes by hand or you may give your clothes to a local laundry which charges about Rupees 20 to wash a shirt / pant. Food South Indian vegetarian food will be provided for breakfast, lunch and dinner and filtered water is always available for drinking purposes.
