The ‘Himalayan Volunteers programme’ was developed to assist impoverished rural communities and has been operating in Chitwan and beyond.
People in the Chitwan region are primarily Tharu although the area is much more multi cultural than most of Nepal as people continue to migrate to the area from all over the country. The Tharu traditional dance and songs are performed in resorts and lodge entertainment. The Tharu people are known for their farming skills, industrious nature and intelligence. Although they have a low income, the Tharu are mostly self sufficient due to their farming abilities. But the people who live in the surrounding area are amongst the country’s poorest.
One of the programme’s main priorities is education, working closely with the local secondary school, and also by providing vocational training to young adults along with skill development for all ages. Other volunteer projects include helping to restore some of the historical buildings, schools, such as Buddhist prayer halls, which have fallen into disrepair.
Volunteer Himalaya welcomes Nepalese and international volunteers in the abode of Himalayas, Nepal, to make their positive contribution in a developing country with a rich culture.
Volunteer Himalaya in Nepal holds a non-governmental and non-profit making but the professional status. It is in corporate under Association Registration Act 2062 (2005) - (Regd No. 76-62-63) to His Majesty's Government of Nepal and affiliated to Social Welfare Council of Nepal
