These numbers need everyone. For many, this isn't just a cause; it's personal. Volunteering with Bachpan means joining a movement that replaces fear with knowledge and ensures every child grows up safe, aware, and unafraid.
What Do You Get From Volunteering?
“I came for the social cause, but I stayed because of the
community.”
A constant line for many volunteers with us.
Besides this, volunteering gives you a chance to make mistakes and learn, which usually we don’t get in workplaces. Through real work with children and survivors, you’ll:
- Build confidence and leadership.
- Strengthen teamwork and problem-solving skills.
- Deepen your emotional intelligence.
- Find a community that feels like family, where kindness is culture and support is constant.
- Experience a safe space for your own healing and growth while helping others.
Volunteers receive a Certificate of Contribution , and based on performance, a Letter of Recommendation (LOR) appreciating their work and impact.
Here, you don’t just volunteer you evolve, heal, and become part of lasting change.
