About the project

Deni 3

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

This project is actively working for SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), organized together with Green Volunteers for Green Future (GV4GF) since 2012 (since 2019 in this place!). GV4GF is a NGO to promote voluntary service, environmental protection and improve rural life. Most of local people are less educated and youth possess less privilege. And South Indian Tamil community live here as a labor force to tea plantation. Most of the GOs and NGOs do not want to implement programs due to less facilities, damaged roads and unavailability of luxurious life. People are suffered by poverty, but there are actually rich natural resources to have better life, even though it is also degraded by the deforestation. They have no proper guidance to change the distinctive attitudes. *Outcome of this workcamp: In 2019, 9 international vols. joined in 3 short term workcamps and made great impact to interact with local youth and families and to change local’s attitudes in a positive way
