About the program

The area in which you will be working faces numerous problems, such as frequent earthquakes, lack of funds, poverty and other problems. All put the children's education, which we believe is key to their empowerment, at risk.

Some of the tasks you may be assigned as a volunteer include:
  • Installing water purification systems or insulation systems inside the schools.
  • Building brick walls or roof structures.
  • Maintaining and developing existing infrastructure.
  • Demolition of old buildings that may not be suitable for use.
  • Building entirely new classrooms from the ground up
  • Plastering of new structures
  • Decorating and painting classrooms, such as by creating murals and images.
  • Spreading awareness about the importance of these classrooms within these communities.
There may be other tasks for volunteers to perform depending on the specific needs of the location where the reconstruction is taking place.

Typical day

Our volunteers are expected to work between 4 to 6 hours from Monday through Friday. On weekends, volunteers may enjoy some of the beautiful things Nepal has to offer.

Meet your organization


ADVENTURE VOLUNTEER is a non-profit organization, established in 2017. We collaborate in the social and environmental field through projects of conservation and protection of the environment and animals, as well as in the social part through projects of empowerment of women, community development, functional diversity, medical or teaching.


Our team of collaborators has a deep experience in international volunteer programs.  We know all the realities of the areas where we are working, collaborating and where we have a presence. 


Our projects offer volunteers the opportunity to meet, share and participate in social and environmental projects. These projects demand educational and recreational activities that benefit communities of different cultures and customs, communities with economic difficulties and different degrees of social exclusion.
