Volunteer Co-Ordinator (Volunteer Managers) for EcoHomestay Nepal Volunteers & Internship Program

Why Nepal? Why EcoHomeStay-Turkey Berry Nepal,SAST Nepal Volunteers ?

Nepal is one of the most beautiful, culturally rich and welcoming country in the world. Nepal is very rich in diversity where temperature and culture differs every minutes of distance . It is home to Mount Everest, the birthplace of Lord Buddha, and an astonishingly beautiful and diverse landscape, ranging from the well-known peaks of the Himalayas to the low-lying regions of the Terai-Madesh. The Nepali people are as diverse as the geography, with over 70 languages or dialects and scores of traditional festivals celebrated throughout the year.

However, Nepal is among the poorest and least developed countries in the world with low rates of literacy, high rates of poverty and a persistent gender imbalance. The government is frequently unable to provide adequate education and health facilities throughout the country and both urban and rural areas are forced to live without the necessary resources to promote the growth and development of their communities:

42% of the population live below the poverty line on less than $240 a year

15,000 orphans are living on Kathmandu's streets

42% of the population of Nepal are unemployed

51% illiteracy rate throughout Nepal

5 doctors are available for each 100,000 inhabitants

54% of Nepali children are malnourished

More than 80% population are engaged into Family Farming ( FAO )

1. Airport Pickup and Transfer

After travelling halfway around the world to a country you have never visited, there should be someone who will greet you at the airport, help carry your bag and take you to your new home in a car. When it comes time to leave, you again have someone to help lug your bags back to the airport and see you off.

1. Logistics

The most difficult part of setting yourself up in another country is the logistics involved. From finding a place to live to obtaining the perfect volunteer placement, the details are much easier to accomplish when you have a local there to guide you or take care of it for you, who benefits by receiving an income. As well as having our own projects for placements, we have also developed relationships with many schools, hospitals, and disability centers in every part of Nepal where volunteers can be placed.

1. Language and Orientation

As a volunteer, you hope to be useful, but it can take some time to understand your role and how your placement organization works, not to mention local cultural practices and etiquette. This is why orientation and cultural training are crucial parts of any responsible volunteer program. The orientation program will include language training and cultural explanations by our staff. The fees paid by you will help us to develop our training programs and hire quality individuals to run them.

1. Food and Accommodation

Your fees are not only for arranging your accommodation but also include the cost of living. Most programs we arrange are homestays, where you will have your meals cooked for you by the host family, in which case this fee for food is also added on.

1. In-Country Assistance

Perhaps the volunteer placement isn’t all you hoped it would be, or you need help sorting out a banking issue, renewing a visa, or tracking down a doctor who speaks English. Having local in-country help with issues that inevitably arise is invaluable, especially if you aren’t fluent in the local language. We know which doctors to visit when you’re sick, where the best place to buy a bus ticket is, how to avoid being scammed, and so much more!

Plus, we are around to help at all hours of the day, so if an emergency happens on a weekend or at night, we are always nearby. We can also keep in touch with family members, so for those with worrying parents, the peace of mind might be worth the money!

1. Trips and Excursions

We offer a wide range of trips including trekking, rafting, peak climbing, jungle safari, homestay programs and tours to experience the unique beauty of the Himalayan region and to enjoy the customs and food of the people who call Nepal home. On this journey of a lifetime be awed by the mountains, rivers, lakes, forests, jungle and ancient cities, without worrying about the logistical details.

Tours and excursions are also a great opportunity to better acquaint yourself with your fellow volunteers and local staff.

1. Programmatic Support and Continuity

We need money to run our ongoing projects. Our funding typically comes from volunteer fees. We have to tack on a fee for our programs, and the staff are required to run us. While volunteers are involved in daily activities, most people cannot volunteer for more than 6 months. We need to keep paid staff members to ensure the continuity of our programs and administrative duties.

Visa & Others - Visa and others are your own responsibility. We shall assist you with the documentation and processing wherever needed
