The School /Community Service Project in Nepal focuses on supporting local schools and communities in Nepal. Assistance is provided only when there is a genuine request or a clear need from the community. Amazing Himalaya Trekking (AHT) does not impose projects but instead responds to invitations to support ongoing or new initiatives by supplying volunteers. This helps communities reduce project costs. By utilizing both skilled and unskilled labor, the main aim of the project is to help communities achieve various goals, such as painting local buildings, constructing toilets, and repairing community water taps.
This is a volunteering trip for students during which they can volunteer for projects in Nepal. Along with community development, volunteers learn about rural Nepal and explore different parts of the country in this enriching 13-day journey. They will be exploring Kathmandu, Bhaktapur, Lumbini, and Chitwan.
This School /Community Service Project in Nepal takes us to Chitwan, where volunteers will perform different tasks in a local school or community. They will engage with local community members to complete the project. Giving back to the community not only helps the community become a better place but also provides volunteers with valuable experience and personal satisfaction from being part of a positive change.
