Volunteering Is Always Free
At Project Volunteer Nepal, volunteering is – and will always be – completely free of charge.
You will never pay us administration or placement fees. The only cost you cover is your accommodation, which already includes breakfast and dinner.
Our philosophy is simple: Helping should never be a business.
Free Volunteering – No Hidden Costs
Whether you join us as a traveller or as a long-term volunteer, the price remains transparent and fair.
You only pay for your stay and meals, and the amount simply depends on how long you stay.
➡️ See our accommodation costs
Everything else — from your volunteer placement to our support and orientation — is free. We’ll help you find the right project, guide you during your stay, and offer courses on
➡️ Cultural Understanding
and
➡️ Orientation
without charging a single rupee.
We want you to feel like part of our team — people who care about each other and work together to
➡️ Make a Difference
Our Prices vs. Commercial Volunteering Agencies
Our model is not just more affordable — it’s also far more ethical and effective. Your money doesn’t disappear in international administration fees or marketing departments. Instead, it stays in Nepal, directly supporting the local community.
1️⃣ Your money stays in Nepal
Unlike commercial volunteering agencies headquartered abroad, we are a registered Nepali organisation. That means every rupee you spend remains in the country, supporting local staff, local suppliers, and local impact — not foreign management.
2️⃣ You only pay for what you receive
Roughly two-thirds of your contribution cover the costs of meals and accommodation. Around one-quarter goes to the salaries of our wonderful Nepali staff — cooks, coordinators, and support team members. And the remaining money goes directly into our Social Project Fund, managed by
➡️ hamromaya Nepal e.V.
to support children, schools, and communities across Nepal.
3️⃣ Same service – fairer price
Commercial agencies often charge high fees for services we already provide:
- They arrange your volunteer placement – so do we.
- They offer food and accommodation – so do we.
- They support you during your stay – so do we.
- They are there when you need them – so are we.
So why pay thousands of euros to work for free?
With us, your contribution goes directly to where it matters most — to the people of Nepal.
A Fair Approach to Volunteering
We believe volunteering should be transparent, fair, and accessible to everyone. You don’t need to “buy” your way into helping others. Join us and see how much more meaningful it feels when your time, effort, and money truly make a difference.
