Introduction
I experienced a way of life so very different to my own. I felt immersed in the culture and daily life that put into perspective my expectations for my own future. It will certainly involve the many kind and generous people I met in Nepal and the gorgeous Little Gems Girls. I highly recommend the experience to anyone interested in volunteering in this special country, you certainly won’t be disappointed.

Open to all
You don’t have to be a teacher to participate and enjoy teaching in Nepal with Help to Educate. From the moment you arrive to the day you depart, we want you to experience the wonderful hospitality of the Nepali people, not as a tourist but as a guest in the local community. In return, we want you to give 18 hours a week of your time to teaching and helping students practice their conversational English in a village school and / or a hostel.
Enjoy the benefits
As a volunteer we will provide airport pickup, backup, orientation, training, a voluntary placement, food, lodging, a SIM card, a Lonely Planet guide, an email address, and an amazing complimentary Mountain Flight over Everest!
We know what volunteers want because we are volunteers. It makes us look at things differently. You have been the lifeblood of our organisation for the last 6 years and we want to share our enthusiasm and love for volunteering in Nepal with you.
Make a difference
Help to Educate is a registered charity in the UK and Nepal. We want you volunteer where you are needed most. As a result, we work with local organisations and that would otherwise
not get any help from English language speakers.
We want volunteering to be accessible. You simply decide how long you want to volunteer for and then make a donation. For example, if you volunteer for 4 weeks we will ask you for a £700 donation and if you volunteer for 8 weeks we will ask you to donate £830.00. In the last financial year we spent 98.2% of our donations on running Little Gems Hostel -supporting the care and education of former child labourers.
The best thing about all this is that we will introduce you to our work in Nepal. We will invite you to accompany our staff on a field visit to a stone quarry or a brick kiln to learn about child labour in Nepal. You will also get to see firsthand, how your donation helps to provide education and care to children in Little Gems.
