Make a difference in the lives of under-privileged Children in Nepal ! Volunteer Aid Nepal currently has volunteer opportunities to assist worthwhile Children’s Home/orphanages in Kathmandu, Pokhara, Chitwan and Lalitpur.
Children living at Children's Home in Kathmandu
You have an opportunity to help needy children living in children’s home. Children who have lost their parents, children who have been abused by their parents and children whose parents can’t provide for their living. These kids need love, attention, life skills, and education so that they can have successful futures free from poverty and filled with the same opportunities as others.
As a volunteer you will be a mentor by becoming a big brother or sister to kids in a children’s home. You will work alongside the local staff to help in classroom teaching and homework help, childcare, and the daily operational running of the home. Volunteers are also encouraged to initiate their own work by organizing arts and crafts, music, dance, games, sports activities, and day trips for the children. This role is suitable for a caring, motivated, and self-directed person who has a love for children.

Opening Orphanages in Nepal - by Shalav Rana
Opening an orphanage isn’t an easy job. If you want to do it, you’ll have to write the constitution and clarify such points like objective, write name (both in Nepali and English), provide a stamp, and include names of committee members. At least 7 members are required for the committee. You’ll have to disclose the president, vice president, secretary, treasurer and members.
The orphanage will be registered as a social organization at the district office. Before the district office gives a go ahead to open the orphanage, they’ll send the names of committee members to police, who will search for records of the members and see if any of them have any criminal records. When the police do not find anything, they’ll advice the district office of this. Only after this the district office will give a go ahead to open the orphanage.
You’re then free to rent the room or buy a property and establish an orphanage.
After you move in your orphanage into a rented property, you’ll need to register with Child Welfare Organization. It’s the duty of the Child Welfare Organization to make sure the orphanages are following the rules set out by the government. They’ll visit orphanages and conduct surveys to see if the orphanage fulfills criteria set to them.
According to Child Welfare Organization, an orphanage must have:
· play ground for the children to play
· The building must be in an open area
· Room must be large, spacious and well ventilated
· Depending upon the size of the bed, not more than two children can sleep in the same bed
· The children must have individual blankets
There are many more criteria like this which an orphanage must fulfill. If they fail to do so, they can be closed down. If any volunteers working in an orphanage encounters poor living conditions, they can take up this issue with Child Welfare Organization if the orphanage fails to improve the situation.
