Nepal is a small landlocked country located between India and China. It is still in the developing phase and has many areas that require support and improvement. Volunteering opportunities in Nepal are diverse. You can choose a program based on your interest, skills, available time, and the season you plan to visit.
Volunteers are placed in homestays with local Nepali families. Living with a family allows for deeper insight into Nepali culture. Accommodation varies depending on location—rural areas may have basic facilities like squat toilets and limited running water, while urban placements typically offer Western-style toilets and showers. All meals are provided at the homestay, and your workplace will be within 30 minutes of your lodging.
This is one of the most popular volunteer opportunities in Nepal. As a volunteer, you will be immersed in the monastery environment and assist monks in improving their English and communication skills. Volunteers typically teach English for 3–4 hours per day. In return, monks share their knowledge, culture, and meditation practices, providing a deep cultural exchange and spiritual experience.
Child sponsorship in Nepal is essential due to poverty, civil conflict, and political instability. Around two-thirds of Nepal’s children suffer from severe deprivation, and 40% live in absolute poverty. Many children are denied education because of issues such as child labor, trafficking, bonded labor, and gender discrimination. Sponsorship helps provide access to education and a brighter future for these vulnerable children.
Many government and remote-area schools lack qualified English teachers. Volunteers can help by teaching English to children in these schools or orphanages. This program supports students in improving their language skills and opens opportunities for better futures.
If you’re interested in working in remote villages, this program offers meaningful opportunities—from teaching in local schools to supporting organic farming and offering community training. Activities may include:
Knitting, stitching, and patchwork training
Modern farming and irrigation techniques
Cleanliness and sanitation awareness
Computer education
Cultural exchange
Drug awareness sessions
Following the 2015 earthquake, many people are still homeless. Volunteers can assist in rebuilding homes. Medical professionals can also participate in rural health camps.
City-based programs are available in places like Kathmandu, Pokhara, and Chitwan.
We highly recommend volunteering at Manav Sewa Ashram, a community organization founded in 2012 in Chitwan. Its mission is to rescue and rehabilitate people living on the streets, especially women, children, and people with disabilities, by providing them with shelter and medical support.
The organization has now expanded to Kathmandu and Makwanpur. Since its founding, it has rescued over 500 people, with 150 successfully reunited with their families. Currently, about 150 rescued individuals reside in shelters across the three districts. These include people with intellectual disabilities and women who were victims of street violence.
In Kathmandu, shelters are located in Balaju and Budhanilkantha. Volunteers can assist residents with daily activities and contribute to the ongoing care and rehabilitation efforts.
