Help develop education and training for women in Nepal.
Internationally recognised RUWON Nepal has placements for volunteers for one month or more. Activities include fundraising, networking, proposal writing, report and article writing and teaching English as well as training for youth and women. One month would cost approximately £1800, three months approximately £2200.
The overall cost is comprised of the return air fare, health and travel insurance, visa, food and accommodation fees and a donation towards administrative costs for Christians Abroad.
The Rural Women’s Network Nepal operates in two centres: in Kathmandu, the capital city and in Sindhuli, a village fifty miles east of the capital. Two places are available at each location, and accommodation and food are provided at a relatively low cost.
Current projects include a Literacy School for women, Micro-Savings programmes for women and in schools and Gender Equality programmes.
A recent volunteer says: “I gained a lot of experience and had great fun at the same time.”
