    Description

    Waste management education and awareness campaign in Nepal

    Nepal is a beautiful country and we hope to keep it clean and green forever. At the moment, littering is a widespread problem. This project will focus on waste management as a way to keep communities clean and beautiful. Local and international volunteers will come together to work for a clean environment. Volunteers will be teaching school children and local villagers about waste management. They will also get involved in hands-on activities like collecting trash, making compost and demonstrations on how to use recycling bins to separate paper, plastic and food waste. The project is organized in different communities in and around the Kathmandu Valley, Pokhara, Tanahun, Lamjung, Chitwan, Makwanpur and Nawalparasi district. You can explore the real rural Nepal by staying in secluded villages where people live in very traditional ways. Or you can opt for a more urban and modern Nepal experience in the bustling and fast-growing cities like Kathmandu and Pokhara.

    Duration of the project: 2-5 months. The volunteer placements start on the first Monday of the month.
