Airbnb partners Jaipur NGO for local experiences, promotes women employment

Airbnb, the home stay aggregator platform, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Princess Diya Kumari Foundation (PDKF) in Jaipur on Monday.

Through the partnership, the two will work together to help PDKF women become Airbnb hosts by sharing their homes or their passions with travelers from around the world, thereby creating economic empowerment opportunities for women in rural parts of Rajasthan that don’t usually benefit from such opportunities.

The initiative is part of the experiences category of Airbnb, which lets users stay with local people and understand a local craft, activity or unique experience.

PDKF and Airbnb will also partner to create social impact experiences to promote local culture and unique handicrafts made by local women in Rajasthan.
