Work

We do believe that the only way to learn and understand any society and area is through the deep exploration and immersion into these things. Volunteering is a two-way approach and contribution for the better understanding, harmony and mutual assistance and benefits. Volunteer and Learn Nepal is committed to provide sound platforms to the interested people to utilize their expertise in various fields and make significant contribution to the Nepalese communities. Simultaneously, volunteers are expected to gain broader perspectives on several issues through first-hand involvement and contribution.

Languages spoken

English, Nepali and Hindi

Accommodation

Volunteers either stay at a home with local families or if working in an orphanage they often stay in the orphanage and volunteers working at monastery stay at the monastery. Nepali people are extremely hospitable and volunteers will be well looked after however the accommodation will be typically Nepali and therefore basic by Western standards. Toilets and showers are usually Nepali style and the electricity supply in many places can be unreliable. Most of our home stay families have lots of previous experience in looking after volunteers. Volunteers staying in orphanages or at the monastery are given their own room within the orphanage.

Why does workaway.info allow listings of hosts who charge money?

In developing countries (Where most hosts are involved in charity work or community development) some of our hosts may ask for a small donation to help the host family or charity (often less then 5 dollars per day) Workaway will allows this listing when the donation goes directly to the family or charity and is just to cover the cost of the volunteers stay.  (This this will be clearly marked on the host listing).
We will strictly not allow listings posted by agents or “middle men” or projects who we feel are looking to profit from a volunteers stay.
