Special Needs Care programs allow volunteers to contribute to specialist daycare centres for children with disabilities. Special needs care centres are often under-resourced and assistance from volunteers can make a huge difference in helping local teachers provide individual care and connection to students who need it to grow, learn and thrive. Special needs care centres are often not well-resourced, so volunteer assistance can make a huge difference in helping teachers to deliver personalized care that can improve the quality of life for those with disabilities.

Special Needs Care Highlights:

  • Help children with disabilities with education and sensory activities
  • Explore Nepal’s amazing mountain ranges
  • Stay with a local family for a unique experience of Nepali life

As a Special Needs Care volunteer, you will help to look after children with disabilities aged between 3 to 16 in Kathmandu, or at one placement in Pokhara. Working in a special needs care placement can be challenging, but very rewarding. Special needs care olunteer tasks will include:

  • Teaching life skills and basic lessons
  • Cleaning up
  • Feeding and helping with meals
  • Arranging games and activities
  • Physiotherapy
  • Musical therapy
  • Speech therapy
  • Art therapy

Who is this program suited to?

Sympathetic, helpful volunteers who want to help and support people with a wide range of physical and mental disabilities. You will work alongside local staff so there is no need to have prior experience, but physical therapists are especially in demand at this project.
