Children's Trust Nepal

Volunteering can provide a wonderful and unique experience which will stay with you for the rest of your life.  If you want to spend some time away getting to see a different way of life, why not consider visiting us.  Not only will you be able to become part of a real Nepalese family and community, but our children will be so keen to make you feel welcome and learn from your experience.  Volunteering with us will involve helping the children with their school work, improving their English skills and just generally spending time with them as a friend: chatting, playing games and having fun.

We have had a number of volunteers over the years from a variety of countries. If you might be interested in finding out more about volunteering with us, please contact us using the box below.

 Namaste!  If you are looking for a different and special experience during your gap year, or are simply eager to discover a new country and culture, then you need look no further. I’ve spent five weeks living in the beautiful hills Dhading and from the first day I arrived, I have completely loved the experience. I had no idea what to expect before coming and was understandably nervous, but within hours I knew that this experience would reach far beyond my expectations – and so it has!

Dhading is approximately 3 hours from Kathmandu and it is surrounded by hills and very beautiful.  You will have a wonderful time with the children, who are very loving and playful.  For me, it was really important that I could make a difference.  I am thankful for my time in Nepal, to learn more and to be a part of many lives.

I have been here at the Children’s Home for a month in the simply stunning Dhading district, and from start to finish their generosity has gone far beyond my hopes and expectations. Never before have I come across such warm and open children.  Every day with them has been an utter delight – helping them get ready for school, singing and playing games, helping them learn English (and learning your fair share of Nepali in return!), but most importantly just spending time with them. Sometimes the work can be tiring, but it is nothing compared with the satisfaction and happiness you feel at the end of every day. My happy memories from here will last a lifetime. I cannot recommend it enough.

I really could never say enough about the generosity and beauty of this family. All of the kids are really great with varying personalities, talents and gifts.  Bam and Gita are the ‘parents’ of the Children’s Home and they are truly wonderful people.  The local church in Dhading is also incredibly welcoming – the music and the worship were a huge blessing and an awesome experience. When I left, I felt like I was leaving a new family behind.
