Volunteering in India: World's Lowest Program Cost - USD 375 for 2 Weeks

Highlights: Why other volunteer programs are a lot more expensive than Shake Hands?

World's lowest program fee! We offer one of the most affordable volunteer programs in India in this competitive and expensive time in compare to many other international and local agencies. Not only our fees are substantially lower but also we are committed to providing excellent quality volunteers programs within the scope of the amount we receive.

Our important aspect is that, if you are singing up directly to Shake Hands as individual / couple / groups you will notice that our volunteering program cost is considerably lower than what is available in your home country or other Indian agencies offering the volunteering programs. The involvement of outer agency in the chain of administration would entail extra expenditure on account of commission of the agencies besides time consuming process.

Qualifications: The only qualifications of our volunteers is that you come motivated to help needy people. We happily accommodate singles, couples and groups. If you are comfortable with your level of English, it's probably good enough!
