iSPiiCE Information

Who we are

iSPiiCE volunteering in India was established in 2008 and later registered as a social enterprise to provide combined volunteer and travel  programs to people from all corners of the world. iSPiiCE aim to address inequalities in the provision of education and healthcare in rural India and to tackle gender discrimination through empowerment. iSPiiCE take a holistic approach to community development by involving the different affected groups (women, children, parents, local staff, community members) in program development.

iSPiiCE are set up to offer volunteers the chance for experiencing life in rural India,  which would otherwise be inaccessible and to act as a platform for meaningful cultural exchange. iSPiiCE volunteer abroad programs are unique and they offer volunteers three extraordinary excursions during weekend free time to complete your volunteer trip to India.

iSPiiCE volunteering are a non-political, non-religious voluntary development organization and objectives are met through sustainable community projects. iSPiiCE projects are designed to generate access and growth opportunities for communities in need. Volunteer assistance is necessary to facilitate these projects and the dedication, enthusiasm and range of talents and abilities volunteers bring are key to the program's success.

 

 

iSPiiCE Approach

iSPiiCE was set up to assist children’s education in India and to provide volunteers with meaningful travel opportunities in India. iSPiiCE has since moved into gender issues, improving the lives of women in rural India and improving access to health care for all.

Project growth opportunities are identified by taking counsel from locals who are the real experts when it comes to the communities' development needs. After discussion with local staff, partner institutions and local community members a project plan is devised and iSPiiCE volunteers are invited to help meet mutual goals.

iSPiiCE aim to be flexible in its offerings to support the communities holistic development and also to make the most of volunteers wide range of skills, experiences and abilities.
