Volunteer with Local NGO in Nepal

The Umbrella Foundation is a non-profit organisation that supports vulnerable children and young people in Nepal, helping them build stable and independent futures. After finishing school, youths receive up to two years of support through a structured program that focuses on education, job skills, and personal growth. They are guided by a dedicated team that provides regular mentoring, career advice, and help with daily life skills such as budgeting, cooking, and living independently. The aim is to prepare them for life beyond school and help them return to their communities with confidence. The program also creates pathways into employment, especially in the tourism sector, one of the country’s growing industries. Through initiatives like ethical trekking experiences, young adults can gain real work experience while supporting the organisation’s wider mission. This approach allows them to earn, learn, and give back at the same time. By combining practical training with ongoing support, the program helps young people develop independence, responsibility, and the skills needed to build a better future for themselves and their families.
