About Program

The Alliance Nepal program places volunteers in a variety of projects in and around Pokhara (the capital city of Alliance Nepal) including teaching English, caring for disabled children, orphanage work, medical work and working with local NGOs. Before arriving in Alliance Nepal volunteers should understand that resources are extremely limited in the institutions they will be working. Therefore, any supplies volunteers can bring, appropriate to their particular program are always very appreciated by the local people and staff.

Alliance Nepal offers volunteering placements in pokhara, the capital city of Alliance Nepal . Volunteers can be accommodated within the city itself or in an urban or rural placement just out of the city.

Volunteering is a valuable experience in which both you and your hosts will benefit through cultural exchange and learning from one another.

This program is no longer offered. View more programs from Alliance Nepal.

Consider your impact: Volunteering abroad can be a rewarding experience for both volunteers and local communities, and at Go Overseas, we believe all volunteers should have the resources to make informed decisions about the type of volunteer project they want to partake in. However, despite best intentions, some organizations offering placements in orphanages may unknowingly place children in danger. You can read about the potential dangers of orphanage volunteering here.

An incredible experience

For 2.5 months I volunteered at Matepani Gumba in Pokhara, Nepal.

Alliance Nepal did a fantastic job of helping me through the experience. Krishna is a very trustworthy guy who was always there to help.

I can't recommend this program enough!

An excellent and truly caring company

From landing in Kathmandu I was cared for by the team at Alliance Nepal, they were always friendly and happy to help. When I arrived in Pokhara, I was greeted by Krishna, the director of the company, who was only a phone call away for the rest of my trip. I was able to experience this beautiful country by myself, knowing if something should go wrong I could always rely on the help of Alliance Nepal. The school in which I taught was also fantastic, it gave me an opportunity to better understand the cultures and traditions of Nepali Buddhists (though many of the children were from Mustang and thus Tibetan in all but nationality) as well as giving me the opportunity to help these lovable kids.

What would you improve about this program?
- I had initially expected to be teaching in a monastery, however upon arrival it was clear that this was actually a buddhist monastic school. Which came as a shock as I had naively expected to be in the centre of a working monastery.

- The Nepali language lesson i received was very useful out and about in the city, however the children and teachers at the school spoke Tibetan which I was completely unprepared for
