Volunteering in Orphanages: Empowering Lives with People Helping People Nepal

Unlock Life-Changing Opportunities: Volunteer in Nepalese Orphanages

Children in Nepalese orphanages face countless challenges, and education stands as their gateway to a brighter future. With your support as a volunteer through People Helping People Nepal, you can help open that door to opportunity. Resources are often limited in these settings, making your role as a volunteer educator invaluable for shaping young lives.

Volunteering goes beyond the classroom. Based on your skills and passions, you can introduce children to subjects like art, music, dance, cooking, and more, nurturing their creativity and self-expression. Many orphanages also offer accommodations for volunteers, giving you the chance to live within the local community, experience authentic Nepali culture, and provide direct care to children who need it most.

What Does a Typical Day Look Like?
Mornings and evenings are dedicated to teaching and mentoring the children. Afternoons present an opportunity to engage with local schools, broadening your impact and strengthening the community. As a volunteer, your presence not only empowers the children academically but also instills confidence and hope.

Join People Helping People Nepal as a volunteer and embark on a fulfilling journey that makes a lasting impact—not just on the lives of the children you help, but on your own life as well.
