About Program

You can work right along side our women farmers and grow the food that you, and they, will be eating. Farming is hard, but fully satisfying work and nothing tastes better than a meal prepared from the food you've grown yourself. You will be helping these women to provide a sustainable future for themselves and their children.

As of November 2013 we also have a day-care and before and after school program for the children in the village. You can help teach English, work on art projects and other activities with these children.

You will live in the volunteer shared house where we have simple, comfortable accommodations (showers/toilets, no running water). Meals are prepared fresh daily from locally grown sustainable sources, including right there on the farm. Situated to provide mountain views with a short hike, fresh air and easy access bus (2 hours) to Kathmandu, the rural Nepal experience provides the ideal opportunity to fully immerse yourself in Nepal.

This program is currently not being promoted on Go Overseas by its provider. Check with A Broader View Volunteers Corp for the most up-to-date information regarding the status of this program.

Woman Support and Farm Program Nepal

Through this program, I have been able to experience a once in a life time opportunity. Not only to help those in Nepal, which included women, children, and those in the villages and in the city of Kathmandu, but to also have a time to explore this incredible country. ABV brought me together with wonderful, open minded people that allowed us to explore ways for us to help the community in their schools, on the farm, and through the medical clinics in both villages. I found myself engrossed in the ways of the Nepali women, and enjoyed everything, from de-licing children to helping teachers improve their English so they can better teach the Nepali children. The 8 weeks I was there, I would like to think I made an improvement, no matter how small, and that I had an impact on the women there. I hope they always remain as strong as I remember them, and I hope to go back again with ABV's help to do more work in the future.
