The purpose of our non-profit organisation is to provide truly responsible volunteer opportunities in Nepal. We aim to be the ethical alternative to commercial volunteer agencies that profit from the idea of helping.
At Project Volunteer Nepal, we believe that responsibility begins with awareness. We offer you a platform to make a real impact — but your thoughts, empathy and actions are what truly count.
Where Help Is Really Needed
Providing responsible projects means that we only send our volunteers to places that genuinely need support. Unlike many commercial agencies, we never stage projects or create artificial placements just to attract participants.
For example, some companies send volunteers to schools in Kathmandu that already have enough local teachers. Unqualified volunteers may unintentionally replace professionals and disturb daily routines. We want to avoid such situations — that’s why we carefully select our partner institutions.
Our goal is not to send as many volunteers as possible, but to match the right people with the right projects. That’s how real change happens.

Responsible Projects Need Responsible Volunteers
Making a difference requires understanding what you do. If you are aware of the downsides of commercial voluntourism, you’re already on the right path.
We need volunteers who bring relevant experience or skills to their field:
- Teaching experience for education programs
- Physiotherapy knowledge for rehabilitation work
- Medical or dental expertise for health camps
It’s as simple as that: you should know what you are doing.
This isn’t about having a degree — it’s about being honest, committed and responsible.
We trust our volunteers. Together, we prepare you for your placement and make sure your time in Nepal truly adds value — to the project, and to you.
If you have any questions, feel free to send us a message.
We’re looking forward to hearing from you!
