Woman's Empowerment & Education in Nepal

Many women in Nepal leave rural areas to seek employment in cities, hoping to improve life for their families. These women have little or no formal education and work as housemaids, making it difficult to access better job opportunities in a society where education—especially in English—is crucial for advancement. You will play a key role in expanding their opportunities through structured English lessons and everyday conversation. All higher education in Nepal is conducted in English, making your teaching especially valuable. During the first week of this program, you will take part in a mandatory culture week designed to help you understand local customs—an essential foundation when working with vulnerable communities. A trained teacher will support you in planning your lessons, with a focus on inspiring women of all ages and helping them rediscover their strengths. You will teach groups with varying educational backgrounds, using a provided course book as a guide, particularly helpful for first-time educators. Creative methods are encouraged to make learning engaging and meaningful.
