Volunteer with Alorah Foundation

Read this form in

Alorah works because people give their time. If you can spare some, tell us who you are and what you can do, and our team will telephone you.

Offering is not the same as being taken on. Our team reads every form and telephones you. We check what you have told us, including by ringing the person you name as a reference, and then we decide. If we take you on we issue you a volunteer card with your photograph on it, and it is valid for a year.

What we need most

  • Field work. Visiting a home to verify an application, delivering a ration kit, sitting with a family at a hospital.
  • Professional skills. Doctors, teachers, accountants, lawyers, counsellors, designers, anybody whose trade can be given for an afternoon.
  • Quiet administrative help. Answering the telephone, entering records, checking documents, writing letters. Work that can be done from home.
  • Language. Reading and writing Tamil or Malayalam with somebody who cannot.

Tell us about yourself

What we do with what you tell us, and the law that governs it
  • What we collect: your name, date of birth and telephone number, where you live, what you do, what you can offer, the person you name as a reference, the ID you name with a picture of it, and your photograph.
  • Why: to decide whether to take you on, to reach you when there is work, and to print your volunteer card if we do.
  • Who sees it: our team. Nobody else. We do not sell it and we do not share it for advertising.
  • How long: for as long as you volunteer with us, and afterwards only where our records require it.
  • Your rights: ask us for a copy of what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, ask us to erase it, or withdraw your consent. Write to alorahfoundation@gmail.com and we answer within 15 days.
  • If we get it wrong: tell the Managing Trustee first. Under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 you may also complain to the Data Protection Board of India.
