Volunteer Society Nepal : The best experience for volunteers, the best value for Nepal.

Child Care Nepal

Child Care Nepal are deprived of attention, homework help, and good nutrition. Their families are poor and do not have the time or money to support them in their child care. When their school day ends, these children return to their homes. They then spend the rest of the day taking care of their siblings or roaming the streets. Most of these children end up leaving school early. For example, they find work as child labourers in restaurants, factories and hotels. Or as trash collectors. Most of these children are going to government schools within which the standard of education is lower. The parents cannot pay the expensive fees for private schools.

The situation of socially disadvantaged children in Nepal

Many children in Nepal lack attention and good nutrition. Their families are poor and do not have the time or money to support them. After their school day, these children spend the rest of the day taking care of their fellow siblings or roaming the streets. Most of these children end up leaving school early and find work as child labourers in restaurants, factories or trash collectors. To help these children, Volunteer Society Nepal set up an after-school child care program. Here, children get guidance with their homework and get to create art, connect through music, dance, and play games.

What does a volunteer in Child Care Volunteering Nepal do?

The general role of the volunteer will be to act as a homework guide and activity organizer. To encourage the children in their studies and good behaviour, and to help them develop socially, academically, and confidently. Volunteers will teach the children general life skills, including health and sanitation, as well as arts, crafts, dance and music. Volunteers can also organize tours, games, drawing classes, singing, dancing, painting and other creative activities that the children enjoy.

Do I need any specific qualifications or skills for this placement?

Volunteers do not need any qualifications to help in a child care project in Nepal, but it will be a more enjoyable experience if they are enthusiastic and approachable.

After School Program

To help these children to further develop themselves, Volunteer Society Nepal is starting an After School Program that offers children the opportunity to get guidance. They can get guidance with their homework, explore their own ideas, create through art, connect through music, dance, and play games. Volunteers can help these children by providing them with these after school activities and guiding them with their homework. The children are mostly between the ages of four and fifteen and have a basic understanding of English.

Our Goals for Child Care Nepal

Our goal is to uphold the value that every child has a right to safe shelter, proper hygiene, food and education no matter where they are born. And all children should enjoy childhood where they feel loved and looked after. They should be provided with the tools to become strong and independent adults. Your support and care will go on a long way in helping many children. Children who otherwise may not have the opportunity to engage in a secure and positive life. With an average annual income of just 250 euros a year, your money will go further in helping those who are in need of help the most.

Join our Volunteering programs

We offer volunteering opportunities depending on your skills and interests to make a difference by joining our volunteering, internship, charity tourism programs so that we can run our projects smoothly. To protect the children from harm, Volunteer Society Nepal asks each volunteer to sign the VSN Child and The VSN Child and Vulnerable Adult Protection Policy.
