RCDP-India works in collaboration
with local partners to empower and support the
marginalized and disadvantaged women in India.
The situation of majority of the women in India
is very miserable and troublesome due to the
existing social, cultural, economic system and
social phenomena of the country. Common women
in India, especially in rural community, are
deprived from their basic human rights like
education, health, nutrition, involvement in
politics etc. On the other hand violence and
rape against women are other critical factors
which have been exacerbating the plight of the
women. Also, number of their literacy rate in
comparison to men in rural area is very unsatisfactory.

Arrangement of room/food/supervision
RCDP-India makes appropriate provision for food, room and
supervision for its volunteers from the very beginning of their arrival to the
country. During the first week of language and cultural immersion program, volunteers
stay in RCDP’s hostel in Gurgaon (Delhi) where cooks prepare a variety
of Indian food (Nan, curry, Dal, chapatti, rice and pickle). During their volunteering
programs in Delhi and Banglore, volunteers’ accommodation and food management
is provided by a host family. However, volunteers joining RCDP-India’s
orphanage program stay with the children in a hostel. RCDP makes provision of
a separate room along with the shower facility in both the host family and hostel
accommodation. RCDP’s staff visit visits volunteers in their respective
placement in every two week to acknowledge the feedback, volunteers’ progress
and the program in general.
