Nepal Health Promotion Challenge

how you can help

We work with the community on a range of projects that aim to improve community health, and you will get to work on these hands-on when you volunteer with us. The projects you could be working on include:

• Basic first aid training for students and teachers

• Educational workshops at local schools and in the community focusing on key health issues

• Delivering a bullying awareness campaign in local schools

• Creating an educational mural at a local school

program structure

When you arrive in Nepal you’ll be met by our team at the airport. Over the next few days you’ll have a thorough induction and orientation where you’ll learn about Nepalese customs and culture, get your bearings around town, meet community partners and gain a better understanding of the context of the projects you’re working on

Over two weeks, you’ll work in the community Monday - Friday with your weekend free to travel and explore. Your day will usually be structured with a morning session (approx. 3 hours) after breakfast and then a session of the same length after lunch. Your afternoons and evenings will be free for you to relax or do any required planning for the next day.

On the last day, you’ll either be transported back to the airport or you can join our extension trip trek!

extend your volunteer trip

After your Challenge you can join our optional extension trip for $800, where you’ll embark on the epic 5-day Poon Hill trek! Beginning in Pokhara, you'll have an afternoon to stroll around the lakeside city before getting ready to start your trek the following day. You'll pass through picturesque mountain villages, lush forests and small streams as you make your way to the Poon Hill summit - 3200m above sea level. The Poon Hill lookout has the most incredible panoramic views of the Annapurna ranges that you'll be lucky enough to see at sunrise before beginning your descent, fresh on the knowledge you just trekked into the highest mountain range in the world!
