Volunteer Teaching English to local children in public schools of Nepal is a meaningful way to develop your interpersonal skills while gaining valuable, hands-on volunteer experience. Whether you're joining our experienced English teaching volunteer team for personal growth or professional development, one thing is certain: you’ll walk away with a new perspective on the world.
Immersing yourself in a new culture and experiencing daily life through the eyes of underprivileged communities can open your heart and mind. You won’t just be teaching English you’ll be learning too.
The main goal of Ke Garne Foundation, teaching volunteer program in Nepal is to provide education and support to underprivileged children. While the focus is on teaching English, the program may also involve basic computer skills and subjects like math and science. As a volunteer, you may teach in local primary schools, after-school programs, or community centers. Your efforts will help boost students’ confidence, encourage them to pursue higher education, and ultimately help break the cycle of poverty.
Nepal is famous for its natural beauty home to eight of the world’s ten tallest mountains. Its landscapes call out to adventurers, and its people are warm, welcoming, and deeply rooted in a rich cultural heritage.
Despite its beauty, Nepal remains one of the poorest countries in Asia. Access to quality English education is often limited to wealthy families, as public schools lack the resources and trained teachers needed to offer strong English programs. This leaves children from low-income families at a disadvantage. By volunteering as an English teacher, you’ll help bridge this gap. You’ll give children from disadvantaged backgrounds the chance to gain essential language skills that can open doors to better job opportunities especially in Nepal’s growing tourism industry and help reduce inequality in the long run. Join us in teaching English in Nepal and empower children with the skills they need for a brighter, more successful future.
Ke Garne Foundation teaching volunteer programs are available in a few beautiful locations around Nepal, including Bandipur, Nuwakot, and Riepe Village. Each placement is designed with a purpose and no matter where you choose to volunteer, your efforts will make a meaningful impact. Children in these communities benefit immensely from learning English, and your enthusiasm and support can help shape their future. Our Teaching Volunteer Program is highly interactive and fun! You’ll engage young children in activities that support their social and cognitive development. Your daily responsibilities may include:
• Assisting with basic care
• Playing educational games
• Helping with homework
• Teaching English
• Drawing and creative projects
• Introducing music and rhythm activities and much more
Make a Difference Where It’s Needed Most
You’ll work in rural government schools that often lack the resources to offer high-quality English education. These schools need support to give students the skills they need for higher education and future job opportunities. As a volunteer, you’ll help bridge this gap by teaching English to students—both in small groups and one-on-one sessions. We provide teaching materials, including supplies bought by us and donated by former volunteers, to aid student learning. You can also explore our special combination programs, which allow you to mix multiple volunteer locations or combine volunteering with travel throughout Nepal making the most of your time here.
