Disaster Relief Volunteering in Nepal

Join us in Nepal to contribute to construction and rebuilding projects near Kathmandu! Volunteers on this program work on long-term projects that usually take one year to complete, so volunteers are always needed here. In 2017, volunteers built a dog shelter that has housed over 300 stray dogs. In the past four years, three schools and one center for children with disabilities were built by volunteers. Join this program and see which community building and restructuring project you can help out with!

Why are we cheaper than other organisations? Firstly, we are just a handful of passionate people working hard to help volunteers and local communities around the world. We don't have huge overheads - no company cars, no downtown office - we're just volunteers who knew we could do a better job. Secondly, we work with local organisations wherever we can to keep administration costs to a minimum and also to feed as much money and skills into the local communities where we operate. All of Love Volunteers partner organisations have been fully vetted to ensure that, not only does a genuine need for assistance exist, but that the environments that we place our volunteers are safe and of high quality.

Our volunteer abroad programs in Nepal are centered in and around Kathmandu, the fabled capital surrounded by mystical peaks, serene monasteries, blessed with a cosmopolitan culture and cuisine. Volunteer programs in Nepal directly help in remedying the socio-economic issues of the country by offering locals helping hands and also income that comes through volunteer bookings. Our key volunteer projects in Nepal are our Monk English Teaching and Women Empowerment Programs. Other programs of interest include Medical and Nursing volunteering (ideal for pre-med or pre-nursing students) and volunteering at a Dog and Animal Care shelter. Family Volunteering in Nepal is also possible for parents and children of any age group.

The Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) Research Volunteer program at Volunteering Nepal aims to analyze and identify socio-economic vulnerabilities caused by natural disasters among specific groups. As Nepal is prone to various natural disasters, including floods, landslides, and earthquakes, it requires extensive research and strategic planning to mitigate these risks. Volunteering with Volunteering Nepal’s DRR Research program offers a unique opportunity to make a meaningful impact on communities affected by natural disasters. Your contributions will help build safer, more resilient communities in Nepal.

In this project, we are helping the forest community and the Senegal village of Kavre district near Banepa. After the earthquake, a lot of buildings were destroyed, and the local population needs help in rebuilding the village. We'll be assisting in developing effective agricultural methods; we will do environmental awareness and forest conservation work; we'll work together with local people to build a multi-purpose community house; we will be involved in construction work. The community house will also serve as a shelter in emergencies, a youth club, and a public medical exam room. We'll build an area for seniors, a garden near the house, and a rooftop for the meeting room. Other construction projects include making a water tank and rebuilding the Hindu temple. We will also build a much-needed wall around the community school and repair wood shelters for the village. In the nearby forest, we will build a fire line together with the local people. We'll prepare and perform plays aimed at raising awareness on environmental issues, hygiene, and emergency procedures during earthquakes. We'll also work with local women to empower and prepare them for the workforce.
