International
Volunteers are welcome to volunteer in various
educational and development programs in Nepal.
Nepal is one of the developing countries in
the world with almost one-third of its population
living below the poverty line. Majority of
the people are involved in agricultural
activities that just provide them the subsistence
level of livelihood. Hundreds of people in
the rural areas are deprived of health facilities,
education and transportation. By means of
volunteerism, we aim to bring improvement
and positive change in the communities. Your
small contribution can bring a tremendous
change in the lives of people. Therefore,
we invite you to participate in the life-changing
experience of volunteering in Nepal, and use
your skills, time and energy for the benefits
of the community.
