Childcare Volunteering in Nepal for Volunteers over 50

If you’re looking to give back through your travels and you’re eager to explore Nepal, this is the ideal project for you. You’ll get to experience life in a different country while supporting a local disadvantaged community.

You’ll get the chance to work directly with children, and focus on teaching them the skills every young child needs to learn. You’ll also work on making their environment more stimulating. You don’t need to have any specific qualifications or experience to take part. You’ll assist local staff and Projects Abroad staff will be there to guide you.

This Grown-up Special project runs over fixed dates during the year and has a set itinerary. Once you arrive in Nepal, everything will have been organised for you. This includes cultural and social activities for you to enjoy, along with a weekend trip. Throughout it all, Projects Abroad staff will be with you.

The aim of this project is to help to meet the needs of underprivileged schools in Nepal.

Many of the schools and care centres we work with lack funding and resources. They are also understaffed, and local staff need extra support to give each child the attention they need. This is why we need the help of volunteers like you.

You’ll focus on teaching English, and encouraging the students to practice speaking with you. This will boost their confidence, and you can help them with their pronunciation and grammar. Speaking English is also a critical skill in Nepal, and can open the door to better employment opportunities in the future.

You’ll also become part of our efforts to create safer and more stimulating learning environments at school. You’ll do this through light renovation work, like painting, gardening, and building.

Join today and help us work towards our long term goals to support children’s education in Nepal.

You will live and work in Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal. Located at the foot of the Himalayas, Kathmandu attracts thousands of tourists and climbers. Vibrant and energetic, this city is home to beautiful architecture, fascinating sights, and friendly people.

You will work at a primary or secondary school with disadvantaged students. Nepal is not a wealthy country, meaning that many schools are underfunded, under-resourced, and frequently understaffed. Extra pairs of helping hands are needed and welcomed!
