Program Overview

This special needs care volunteer program in Nepal supports children and adults with physical or mental disabilities in care centers and community facilities. Many of these centers have limited resources, so volunteers play an important role in giving extra care, attention, and support. Placements are available in Kathmandu or in elderly care homes in Pokhara, where volunteers work closely with local staff to assist in daily routines and simple learning activities. Tasks may include helping with basic lessons, supporting life skills, assisting with meals, and encouraging participation in games and sensory activities. Volunteers may also help with personal care and simple physical exercises under guidance. The program is open to anyone who is patient and willing to help, and no prior experience is required, though those with therapy skills are especially useful. The goal is to improve daily life, promote independence, and provide a caring environment for individuals with special needs.
