Volunteer on Construction Projects in Nepal

Travel to Nepal, home to the Himalaya's and volunteer on community construction and renovation projects in Nepal.

Join an international team of volunteers and participate in improving learning environments and local educational facilities that we partner with in Pokhara, Nepal. The objective of these projects is to improve the educational outcomes of the students or to improve the health and safety standards of the facility. 

Projects are lead by our local construction coordinator and while no previous experience is required, physical fitness and DIY or construction experience may be beneficial. You can expect to assist with consructing furniture, building and repainting walls. 

Throughout your stay in Nepal you will be sharing your Nepali homestay accommodation located on Phewa Lake with views of the Annapurna mountain peaks with other GVI participants from around the world.

 

Highlights: 

• Contribute to construction and renovations requested by our local partners and guided by our local construction staff.
• Support the objectives of UN SDG #4, Quality Education, in Nepal. 
• Live and work with other participants from all around the world who are all committed to making a global impact. 
• Immerse yourself in Nepali culture at our homestay-style accommodation on the edge of Pokhara’s Lake Phewa. 
• Experience the natural beauty of Nepal while trekking or paragliding.

Costs / Benefits

Since we opened our doors in 1998, we have spent over 65% of all funds directly on our projects. It is our mission to support field operations in the long term. Rather than abandon programs that recruit fewer volunteers we strategically invest from our fully staffed sites to help maintain our presence across the globe. The remaining 35% that is not directly invested in our programs covers the cost of volunteer recruitment, the operations of our head office.

Cost for the program by duration:
1 weeks £1,645
2 weeks £1,845
4 weeks £2,295
