The Rucksack Project
from 2022 Impact Report
by truetravel
The Rucksack Project in Jaipur, India is a collaboration with Taabar Shelter, an NGO that works specifically with boys who either found themselves living on the streets or were forced into child labour. The shelter aims to rehabilitate the boys, re-build their confidence, teach them basic English, Maths and Hindi and find their families. The True Travel Foundation financially supports The Rucksack Project with the help of donations from our clients, as well as fundraising initiatives within our team.
It costs £8 to provide one child with a rucksack. With each donation a rucksack will be provided to a child in the shelter, something that he can call his own and something that when the time comes he can take home.

Our goal for 2023 is to also raise £10,000 in order to provide a further 1,250 rucksacks for boys who join the shelter over the coming years.
