Why it mattersÂ
We are dedicated to inclusive, sustainable and meaningful engagement with the local community and economy. With this in mind, all of our volunteers or interns in Nepal will work alongside local community members to coordinate and manage the running of these programs. All our volunteer projects and internships are also fully resourced through local businesses.Â
One of our main partner oganisations in Nepal is SASANE, an anti-human trafficking, survivor-led organisation that has dedicated itself to spreading awareness about the prevalence of human trafficing and its effects on the lives of women in the region. This is vital advocacy work.Â
The object of all our childhood education programs in Nepal is to provide resources to support long-term improvements in developmental and learning outcomes for students.
As a teaching volunteer or intern, you will support teachers at a local Nepali primary school. The aim is to provide support in developing children’s literacy and numeracy, as well as skills such as hand-eye coordination, social interaction and teamwork. We also support children in improving their conversational English skills to assist them with accessing future education and employment opportunities.Â
Volunteers or interns focusing on global public health will work to create awareness of preventative health practices through developing health-education initiatives for both children and adults in local communities, including water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) workshops.Â
Alongside SASANE, an anti-human trafficking, survivor-led organisation that has dedicated itself to spreading awareness about the prevalence of human trafficking and its effects on the lives of women in the region, you will work to progress gender equality inititaives in the region.Â
You will also contribute to several regular workshops aimed at women and girls, including literacy, numeracy, professional skills development, public health, and conversational English classes.
