🇳🇵 Volunteering in Nepal

Nepal is mountains, monasteries, momos, and a welcome that never feels performative. Our work is in the Kathmandu Valley, supporting schools and families on the outskirts of the city.

🌱 The project
Teach English, lend a hand at community centres, or join our women's empowerment work. Genuine, low-key, and on-the-ground.

📍 Where it takes place
The Kathmandu Valley, ringed by mountains and dotted with villages full of history. Walk out of your front door and you're in it.
