Youth Empowerment in Nepal

Our Youth Empowerment Project in Nepal is ideal for anyone who is looking to make a real impact on the lives of young children. While volunteering with children in Nepal, you’ll be able to see their confidence grow as they learn and interact with you on various topics.

You don’t need any previous experience or qualifications to join. You’ll work alongside qualified teachers who appreciate the extra support in their classroom. Use this opportunity to identify the students in the class who are struggling and maybe needing extra help.

This project runs throughout the year, and you can join at any time from a minimum of two weeks. However, the longer you stay, the bigger the impact you’ll make on the youth in Nepal.

The aim of this project is to provide teaching and renovation support at a local school. The school itself receives little to no funding from the government. The funding that it does receive is only enough to cover basic math and Nepali classes, which is not enough.

The school has since become part of the Project’s Abroad Foundation and, as a result, receives enough funding to offer additional classes and a more stimulating learning environment. The students all receive a daily nutritious meal, they get to practice debating and they can attend environmental awareness classes, among others.

With your help, we can continue providing students with an education that encourages their involvement in democracy and inspire the leaders of tomorrow.

You can help empower the youth by joining us as a Youth Development volunteer in Nepal.

You’ll wake up every morning at your host family and enjoy breakfast with the other volunteers. Together, you’ll walk or cycle to your placement depending on how far away your host family lives. Our staff will accompany you on your first day to ensure you know how to get there and back safely.

The school week in Nepal is from Monday to Saturday, from 8 am to 3 pm. If you’d like the Saturday off, this can also be arranged.

You’ll spend the day running English lessons and encouraging the practice of English skills through debates and writing tasks. You’ll also get to work with younger children where you’ll lead educational games and activities that teach them the alphabet and basic numeracy. You might even get to plan a few sporting events. Volleyball and football are big amongst the older kids!

Over the weekend, you’ll have the chance to travel around the surrounding areas or relax and unwind in the local community. There are many riverside restaurants to enjoy and the famous Chitwan National Park for you to explore.
