Description
Our program is a US-based, 501(c)3 non-profit organization that addresses the immediate and long-term needs of communities impacted by natural disasters by engaging and leveraging volunteers, partner organizations, and local communities. Our organization arrives early for the first response and stays late to rebuild schools and homes in a disaster-resilient way.
Since April 2015, we have been on the ground in Nepal, working with local organizations to support the communities affected by the Ghorka Earthquake. Our program is seeking volunteers to help with building two new disaster-resilient buildings and WASH facilities for a local school in Dudhauli municipality. These six classrooms will serve over 250 students.
We provide 3 meals a day on each working day and accommodation for the duration of your stay. We live in a communal house with 4-6 bunk beds in each room. Volunteers are responsible for all other expenses, including travel to and from Nepal as well as transportation to our base.
We do not have wifi so we recommend getting a local SIM card before arriving to the program.

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
Living and working in Nepal provides a rich cultural exchange. A local community is incredibly welcoming and is always wanting to teach you about their culture and learn from you. On top of a unique cultural experience, you will also gain new construction knowledge because we will teach you everything you need to know to finish specific tasks. So do not worry about not having previous construction experience.
