Looking to volunteer at a Nepal Orphanage?
By Dan Lavis (volunteer and committee member) Published: 07/09/2011
Prabhat Children’s Orphanage is a non-government organisation located in Sindurke Village, Sarangkot. The charity was first registered at the Chief District Office in Pokhara, Kaski in 2006 (Reg.No. 2246/066).
It is a not-for-profit social organisation set up to help underprivileged Dalit (low caste) children of Nepal and provide them with food, shelter, clothing and education.
The orphanage’s goal is to provide the children with an education and help them become good, honest and responsible citizens. It aims to help eliminate child poverty within Nepal and give needy children a better chance at a successful future.
Prabhat Children’s Orphanage was started by a local trekking guide, Kul Bahadur Nepali, who frequently came across families in remote mountain villages with children in dire need of support and care. Unable to turn a blind eye, Kul donated 50 per cent of his monthly salary to secure the lease on a small hillside house in Sarangkot, just outside Pokhara with a view to giving some of these children a chance at a better life.
Are you considering spending some time during your next visit to Nepal making a difference in the community?
We are always looking for people to volunteer at the orphanage, whether it is for a few hours, days or weeks. Volunteers enrich the lives of our children in many ways – amongst other things, some take art classes while others spend their afternoons reading stories and teaching mathematics.
During the school term, volunteers can spend time with the children at their local school during the day, or before/after classes at the orphanage.
But volunteering opportunities with us aren’t just limited to the classroom! Many of our former volunteers have put their technical and academic skills into practice and helped us build a website, raise the orphanage’s profile locally and abroad and come up with various fundraising initiatives.
If you are visiting Nepal and able to donate time to spend with the children, or would like to help in some other way, get in touch with us via the “Contact Us” page on our website. The precious time you offer will be an incredibly rewarding gift to the children, the staff and perhaps, most of all, to yourself.
