Volunteer Building in Nepal for Teenagers

Our building programme for high school students is perfect for any teenager wanting to travel for a good cause. You’ll make a visible difference and give Nepali children the chance to continue learning in safe classrooms.

You don’t need any building experience. We have a team of skilled masons, architects, and engineers ready to assist you. Work is guided, safe, and gives you on-the-ground insight into basic building techniques.

Experience days on a real building site, ask staff questions, and learn from their expertise. Add your volunteering experience onto your CV and talk about it when you apply to university or for a job.

This project is specifically designed for teenagers. We have a set itinerary in place and extra staff support available.

The aim of this project is to build classrooms for schools destroyed during the earthquakes that struck in 2015. By May 2017, we had rebuilt 96 classrooms with the help of more than 500 volunteers. Because of these efforts, more than 2,000 children were able to resume schooling in safe classrooms. What a feat!

We continue to send volunteers to Nepal to build classrooms which will become places where young students learn and thrive. Your short building project will leave a visible and positive impact in the local Nepali community and in the lives of the young children long after you’ve left.

“I felt so grateful to all Projects Abroad volunteers for helping out our school during such a difficult time. I also don’t have a word to thank them. I have seen them working so hard in the heat and rain to complete the school. I will always be grateful for all the volunteers of Projects Abroad,” said Sunrise School Principal, Mr. Surendra Maharjan.

Lastly, this project is also about giving you the opportunity to travel safely to a unique destination and make new friends from other parts of the globe. Come and join us this summer!

During this Building High School Special, the bustling city of Kathmandu will be your home. Take advantage of a once in a lifetime opportunity to live and work in Nepal, home to the Himalayas.

Most of your short term project will see you working at school building sites to rebuild and renovate classrooms. You will stay in safe and comfortable accommodation organised by Projects Abroad.
