Do you want a overseas volunteer experience that is meaningful and a provides a sense of contribution to a worthy goal?

Do you want to experience Nepal first hand - living as a volunteer in a local community, forming long-term friendships and experiencing Nepal, its people and its culture authentically?

FACE Nepal is a unique volunteer organization which is dedicated to providing clear benefit to the community through having direct responsibility to the community and a transparent and ethical organizational structure.

December 2011- Important Update

This past year has brought a number of organisational challenges to FACE Nepal. We have undergone a full organisational restructure which has meant that, for a short time, we had to put on hold any volunteering placements. We have now made a number of very positive changes which will see a great deal more support and structure offered to volunteers, including the recruitment of a new full time member of staff to support the Advisory Board, Shreeram and Reema. We ask you to bear with us as we manage these changes.

Volunteer with FACE Nepal

If you are interested in supporting a worthy cause and want to be involved in making a positive, meaningful change, then FACE NEPAL wants you as a volunteer

We welcome volunteers from around the world, both male and female, of any age,race, religion and sexuality and with any disability. Should volunteers have specific religious, medical, or access requirements they are asked to make this known in thier registration form, so we can design their program to meet these needs.

FACE Nepal offers a culturally rich experience for anyone interested in:

* Personal Volunteer Work
Teach English in a government school or a community learning centre; volunteer in environmental and conservation work; teach, support and spend time with children in an orphanage; use your specialty training to provide health, sanitation, IT/Computer support and training.

* Team Building Projects
Team building through community projects is a great way for groups and companies to volunteer together to add significant and immediate improvements to community lives.

* Child and Project Sponsorships
By choosing to sponsor a child one person is given the opportunity to attend school when they would otherwise have been unable to afford it, to stay at home rather than become orphaned through poverty or to receive medication when they are ailing. Or why not sponsor a whole school! Alternatively, you can make a one-off contribution to a worthy community development project, with confidence that your money will go directly to where it is needed.

* Research Support
Are you doing research in Nepal, and need support,connections and local access? FACE Nepal has everything you need.

* Specialist Aid Assistance
By volunteering your medical expertise you will provide an invaluable service to the people and communities of Nepal.

* Home Stay and Cultural Exchange
Our volunteers live, eat and make enduring connections with a welcoming Nepalese host family during their work with FACE Nepal. Experience the Nepalese way of life first hand!

Nepal is a country rich in heritage and culture, with amazing plant and animal life. However, despite being one of the most beautiful and ancient regions on Earth, Nepal is faced with a crisis of poverty. At FACE Nepal we believe it is not impossible to turn this crisis around.
