LADLI VOCATIONAL CENTRE

Ladli is a vocational training Centre for abused, orphaned and destitute children. It is located in Jaipur, and since its inception in 2005 hundreds of tourists and several tour groups (including Intrepid) have visited the centre. Their response has been overwhelmingly positive.

At Ladli children learn jewellery-making, tailoring and other skills. They also study Dance, Art and English. Ladli is a relaxed and pleasant environment where children gain confidence and self-esteem as well as education. For most, the alternative to Ladli is begging, child labour or prostitution.

Visitors are driven the short distance from their hotel to Ladli, shown around, then given the opportunity to buy some of the jewellery and handicrafts made by the children. Sales and donations go entirely to the children and toward funding the project.

Ladli has an active volunteer program. Volunteers can teach and play with the children, or help with the day-to-day running of the centre. Jewellery and textile designers are especially needed.

Ladli is a project of I-India (www.i-indiaonline.com), a local non-profit NGO that receives funding from Unicef, Finland and the Government of India.
