About Mandore Project
The project aims to organize fun, educational activities for rural school children in order to inspire them to learn and give them some much needed attention. You’ll play games and sports, sing songs and do some arts-and-crafts, all aimed at teaching the kids basic English, while giving them the attention and love they need and deserve. You might also expect to prepare and teach your own lessons as well, depending on the local need. You may also assist with some painting and renovation work as well.
Volunteers working with the Teaching Program need to be open minded, flexible and prepared to face challenges while teaching, interacting with students of all ages & teaching basic conversational English.
There is a range of options. You could assist with developing a better life for underprivileged children, maximising their potential and equipping them with the skills which could lead to a better future.
A variety of volunteering opportunities available with Mandore Project officially registered as an NGO Organisation as Marwar Medical and Relief Society, founded and incorporated as an Non Government Organisation (NGO) in 1988/89, to share skills, creativity and learning with the aim of building a fairer world through the active involvement and collaboration between volunteers and the host community. We believe that each of us is capable of making significant contributions to the lives of others, and collectively, our contributions make our world a better place to live.
These short & long term volunteer projects are aimed at improving the lives of the disadvantaged people of Rajasthan as well as focusing on improving the basic infrastructure in schools with the belief that education is a critical requisite for socio-economic change. We all need energy and patience and you will receive the warmest welcome into the local community and leave with a lifetime's experience.
Gandhian Model
Mandore Project is based on Gandhi’s principles. The mission is to work with underserved people and strive for equality for all. The Mandore Project also seeks to work with people who have encountered discrimination (by race, sex, caste, addiction, etc.). Many of the schools set up by the Mandore Project have posters of Gandhi to remind the new generation about his principles.

Services
There are a broad range of projects that focus on several different areas of community development which includes the following
Education
We believe that education is the key component for the ultimate solution to many of India’s problems. In underserved rural communities, the literacy rate continues to be much lower than in cities. The Mandore Project has a few basic goals as part of its educational initiative:
Increase the motivation for students to attend school
Address student drop-out, and keep students in school longer
Improve education for women
To address these goals, we take a practical, “from-the-ground-up” approach. The schools in the villages around Mandore lack a very basic infrastructure that is necessary to ensure a proper learning environment. Many of the Mandore Project endeavors focus on creating or improving school’s infrastructure.
Volunteers have been linked directly with students to work together on making basic furniture for schools. This experience provides an opportunity for cultural exchange and an invested interest for the students.
The Mandore Project has also added basic toilet facilities at schools. By fourth or fifth grade, many female students walk home to use the toilet and do not return back to school. In a practical fashion, Mandore Project is addressing drop-out rates amongst female students by equipping the school with basic toilet facilities. This conversation was eye-opening for me as I often take for granted the basic educational infrastructures that are already in place in the U.S.
Health
Health check-ups in school - Health records are stored with School ID Card.
The ‘School Health Check-up’ program undertakes detailed health check-ups of school children:
To improve the health of children and awareness of parents - check the height, weight, eye sight, blood composition along with dental examination to check oral health.A report would be sent to the Parents.
Empowerment of Women
The culture of the villages lies within the homes. A critical piece of any initiative is to build trust and rapport, and the involvement of women is crucial. The project has many practical advantages, such as:
Minimizing smoke and maximizing heat generation,
Decreasing the amount of wood used (a small check on deforestation), and
Improving family health (by protecting the lungs and eyes).
In two months, the volunteers have completed all the homes, and the village women are very pleased with the outcome. We now have plans to continue the project in other villages
Environment
The key components to Mandore Project’s environmental programs are to fully educate and engage the communities and to especially involve women. Drought and deforestation are severe problems in this part of India, and the use of resources makes an enormous impact.
Some of the Mandore Project programs have been:Making kitchen stoves more efficient, Planting trees and gardens, which were given to children to take care of, and Hosting discussion groups that address the role of environmentalism within the villages.
