Volunteer in a Kathmandu Orphanage

Make a Difference in the Lives of Children in Nepal

Are you looking for an opportunity to volunteer in a Kathmandu orphanage and make a meaningful difference in the lives of children in Nepal? Mission in Church welcomes caring and responsible volunteers who want to serve children through education, friendship, practical support, and Christian ministry.

Our living children’s home in Kathmandu provides a safe, loving, and nurturing family environment

for children who need care and support. The home is run by David and Maria, who have devoted their lives to caring for children and helping them grow in a safe environment based on Christ-centered values.

“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress…” — James 1:27

Volunteer at a Children’s Home in Kathmandu

Volunteering with Mission in Church gives you the opportunity to become part of the children’s daily lives. D

epending on your skills, experience, and interests, you can help with education, homework, English conversation, creative activities, health education, games, and daily routines.

Short-term volunteers usually live and serve as part of our family-based children’s home in Kathmandu. Volunteers staying for longer periods may have opportunities to visit and support affiliated children’s homes and ministry projects in other parts of Nepal, depending on current ministry needs.

Your time, skills, encouragement, and friendship can make a positive difference.

What Will You Do as an Orphanage Volunteer?

Every volunteer is different, and your role will depend on your experience, interests, and the current needs of the children.

1. Sunday School Activities

Help with Sunday school activities such as action songs, drama, Bible lessons, games, and other age-appropriate activities.

2. Teach English

Help children improve their English through lessons, reading, conversation practice, and fun educational activities. English teaching may be approximately 3–4 hours per day depending on the volunteer schedule and ministry needs.

3. Help With Homework

Support children with their homework, reading, study habits, and schoolwork while encouraging them to develop confidence and good learning habits.

4. Help With Daily Routines

Depending on the children’s ages and the needs of the home, volunteers can assist with appropriate daily activities before and after school.

Volunteering is about more than completing tasks. It is about building positive relationships with children.

Your encouragement, patience, friendship, and example can help children develop confidence, life skills, and positive relationships. Volunteers can serve as caring mentors, similar to an older brother or sister, while respecting the children’s individual needs, privacy, dignity, and boundaries.
