*Community Development and Social Empowerment in Jaipur

Volunteer in India and start to understand how a surge in the countrys population numbers are leaving families stretched to the limit with increasing numbers of malnourished, underprivileged and orphaned children as a result. India is struggling as a nation to deliver adequate education and care to thousands of needy children leaving them vulnerable to malnutrition, neglect and in some cases abuse. The key to Indias development is to look at educational and care practices and raise levels of literacy throughout the country. With a negative standpoint on having female children, there is also a raising need for women empowerment initiatives to help equalize the power in Indian society. Although the number of literate children and adults has been on the steady increase over the past few years, too many are still suffering from the inability to fund schooling so Kaya are helping to inspire better education and a better care system for the children of Jaipur.
