EduCARE India is an Indian NGO created in 1994 and working towards social and sustainable development. The NGO is implanted in several rural villages of Northern India with approximately 7 other interns in each village.

Ecobuilding concentrates on working with locally available resources such as bamboos, thatch, clay, mud and such natural resources to create alternative solutions for sustainable development. Ecobuilding is closely related to our projects in SWASH, health and alternative energies.

• Creating an eco-building inventory in your centre.
• Facilitate sustainable projects for the community members.
• Contribute to a dynamic atmosphere of innovation.

Depending on the location, several projects are currently ongoing such as: building the outer structure for interns, some maintenance issues, sustainable gardening and waste management solutions and adapt them in the community, grey water filtration, bio sand filters, small scale vertical farming within greenhouse, in collaboration with Organic Farming.

This is an UNPAID internship but we offer various incentives: accommodation, SIM Card, work transportation and an amazing experience abroad surrounded by international people and local communities.
