About Program
This programme focuses on community development in the mountain villages of Nepal. This programme gives you unique access to live in a small community helping develop education, infrastructure & agriculture.
Nepal has some of the most iconic landscapes on earth and is home to the highest mountain range in the world, with 10 peaks reaching more that 5 miles in height! This beautiful country is located in the Himalayas, and borders on China in the north and India in the west, east and south. Home to nearly 30 million citizens, sadly 20% of these are living in poverty which rates Nepal as the 5th poorest country in Asia.
Due to over 80% of the population living in rural mountain areas, education and learning resources are harder to come by. Therefore, only 60% percent of adults in Nepal are literate and even fewer 49% percent for women.

Program Highlights
- English development: A lot of teachers at the schools we work with have little to no English. To add to this, there is a real lack of facilities and equipment, especially in the rural mountain villages.
- IT support: Although some school we operate in have IT labs, unfortunately, the teachers have had no training on how to use computers or teach IT lessons. Join the team and help educate the teachers and students how to use computers.
- School renovation: There is a seriously lack of facilities at the schools we operate at. Work alongside local technicians to help build facilities and improve the schools.
- Agricultural project: We aim to build plastic houses with the support of SAHAS naturalist team. Volunteers can take part in the construction of plastic houses and engage in farming activities.
- Sports development: The Sports development aims to introduce new sports to local schools in the community. Selected sports equipment will be provided to the schools.
