Volunteering in Nepal

Youths associated with 'Nepal Mountain Travel' are involved in various social welfare programs of empowering marginalized communities, women and children through enhanced educational programs, community trainings and providing medical services. To garner more public involvement and the affirmative exploitation of the local resources, we have founded few welfare societies under the Society Act of Government of Nepal.

We also help and assist interns, recent graduates and young professionals wanting to travel to Nepal and experience volunteer-based cultureal exchange oppertunites in Nepal.

Volunteering Oppertunities

At the preschool

Kinder Care International is established by group of enthuziastic women academician with the aim of bringing radical change in preschool education throughout Nepal. The school is located in center of Kathmandu with easy accessability. As a private school, it is economically self-sustaining. The school provides perfect base for running teacher's training practical. The training accumulates enough fund to sponsor enthuziastic teachers from remote community school. While the trainers and academicians are professionals running 'Kinder Care International', they are paid little for running training twice a year. Thanks to our volunteers from around the world whose inputs have garnered a lot in our mission. We welcome enthuziastic teachers, language experts and interns to join us our mission of making education easily available and better for everyone.

We also have a goal of developing a community library at the school. This we saw important in the city as the playgrounds are vanishing with urbanization. Kids playing on the roadside is common scene around Kathmandu. Especially kids of daily wage earners are left at home alone making them vulnarable to accidents and unhyginic conditions. So the library will be open after school and on the holidays through which education could be dissaminated to low income group.
