Description:
MICATZ is currently working with a women’s shelter in Nepal, called Didi’s Foundation. This is a shelter that provides a safe haven for women in need. As women continue to be victimized, it is important that they are given a chance to feel safe and succeed in life. At Didis Foundation, women have a chance to learn new skills to help them build future businesses, meet new friends, create new relationships and learn to respect and speak up for themselves.
As a volunteer at Didis Foundation, you would provide the women an opportunity to improve their English language skills, share your knowledge and skills with them, and interact with them on a daily basis. You presence at Didis Foundation gives women and their children consistency and comfort as they recover from difficult and unstable times.
You can help Didis by:
The success of your volunteer experience is entirely dependent upon you and what you want out of it. A proactive attitude and a willingness to help are essential in making the most of your time spent as a volunteer in Nepal.
Orientation:
Volunteers are welcomed by a MICATZ representative at the airport in Kathmandu, before being guided to their new home. After arrival and getting acquainted with the area, volunteers then have personal meetings with the representative to determine how to best utilize the volunteer's skills, time and experience.
Project Start Dates:
Help is needed year-round. Volunteers determine their own start dates.
Accommodations:
Volunteers will typically live with a host family that is involved with MICATZ. Two or three meals per day will be provided to you by your host family, depending on the individual situation. Assistance will be provided to help ensure safe and reliable transportation to, from, and within Nepal.
Project Duration and Cost:
The maximum length of stay in Nepal is currently 5 months on a traveler’s visa, in accordance with the government. Although the duration of a volunteer’s stay is entirely up to the individual, and always appreciated, a longer stay is certainly more valuable and useful to the students. Volunteer fees vary, based on the length of stay and placement with MICATZ. And remember that it is much less costly to visit once for a longer stay, than to make multiple short trips. Please contact a representative of MICATZ for more details.
