Human Harmony Nepal
Volunteering Activities
What We Need
Our NGO needs 3 types of volunteers
1. Teachers
There is a demand for teachers in the village's three schools. The volunteers will be assigned to a school and work from Sunday to Friday with a day off on Saturday. It's about 5 hours of work per day and your schedule will depend on the school you work in.
You will be assisted most of the time by a local who can translate your course and help you in the construction of your lessons.
No diploma or experience needed.
2. Speakers
We hope to educate villagers about certain topics through lectures and workshops. Determined individuals with charisma are encouraged to help us by presenting lectures on topics such as women rights and empowerment, the environment, healthcare, hygiene, etc. Furthermore, they should plan and implement different workshops that correspond with their lectures such as recycling, health campaigns, and so on.
Example topics:
- Risks involving chemical agriculture - more and more farmers use pesticide and chemicals for their fields without knowing the dangers
- Sanitation and hygiene issues that arise from not using toilets
- Raising awareness about the environment
- Health hazards concerning water sources
The schedule is not determined.
No diploma or experience is needed but public speaking skills are important.
3. Builders and Painters
There are many projects available for builders and painters. For example, our NGO wants to build 750 toilets in the village with the help of volunteers, sponsors, and the government. Villagers commonly do not use toilets, creating sanitation and hygiene issues. Furthermore, we need volunteers to help rebuild and paint a school that was destroyed by an earthquake. Lastly, we need people to set up bins all over the village.
It's about 7 hours a day and volunteers have Saturdays off.
No diploma or experience needed but we are looking for individuals with the motivation and desire to help.

Additional Info about Us
Human Harmony Nepal (Manab Sadbhav Nepal) is an NGO that was created in 2017. We organize community development projects that address crucial needs in disadvantaged, marginalized, and rural areas in Kagatiguan, Nepal.
Human Harmony Nepal is searching for volunteers interested in teaching English, running women empowerment or agriculture workshops, working on health and hygiene projects, helping with disaster relief and construction, and much more.
Volunteers will be based in the village of Kagitigaun, Nepal, a village nestled in the beautiful back hills surrounding Kathmandu City ab=nd home to about 10,000 people. Kagitigaun struggles with major physical, mental, and social health factors as a result of its low education rate and socioeconomic status.
Human Harmony would like to direct a cultural change that breaks certain traditional stigmas that have underpinned many of the issues within the village. Volunteers will assist in changing these stigmas.
As volunteers, you will be offered a traditional homestay with a local Nepalese Family where you will be warmly welcomed, fed Nepalese home cooked meals, and come to understand the Nepalese lifestyle - a truly beautiful and unique experience.
I organized workshops about health, hygiene and woman empowerment. We spoke to the women and students directly and started a conversation about otherwise often tabu topics. Thanks to that direct contact you see the impact you can make. Also, we organized two upcoming soap projects, which will ensure financial independence for the women. Personally, I learned so much about myself, about starting my own projects and most of all learned to appreciate things I took for granted before.
My Nepali family took me in as one of their own from the first day I came. They celebrated (a very different but wonderful) Christmas with me, Ama (Nepali for mother) took care of me when I was sick and my siblings quickly became my best friends.
If you look for an adventure, a way of giving back or an insight into Nepali culture all while being surrounded by supportive and loving people Human Harmony Nepal is the right place for you!
