The Project
Volunteer in Asia and help the government provide adequate health services for the rural communities in Nepal. Hundreds of thousands of Nepali people are estimated to suffer unnecessarily due to lack of basic health care. Working at a hospital or clinic is an opportunity to provide a much needed service and learn firsthand about basic healthcare in a third world country. The volunteer's medical knowledge, skills, background and experience will determine their responsibilities, but all areas of the hospital need help. Qualified doctors and nurses and more experienced medical students also get the chance to assist travelling doctors which involves diagnosing and treating the local people.
Why the project needs you
All aspects of the health-care system in Nepal are under-funded and under-staffed and therefore cannot meet the needs of everyone who receives care there. Volunteers with any sort of medical, health-care or those with background knowledge are highly valuable as help is needed in all aspects of operating a hospital. Medical students can get valuable hands-on experience working with patients.

Mission Statement
Kaya's mission is to promote sustainable social, environmental and economic development, empower communities and cultivate educated, compassionate global citizens through responsible travel.
Description
Responsible travel is about seeing the world in a manner that most respects and benefits local people, culture and the environment - it's travel in the real world, not tourism.
Every year thousands of people travel the globe looking to explore new environment and experience different cultures, with a spirit of adventure and a desire to learn more about the world.
As global travel becomes more accessible, and we look to visit further and more exotic locations, we often discover that the real world is not always easy to uncover, and often visitors don't get a chance to see beyond the window that tourism can offer.
As a volunteer, you have the opportunity to become a real part of the environments, lives and communities of the world's developing nations. And whether you chose to work on projects that benefit the wildlife, the environment or the people, you come away knowing that your being there has positively impacted those you have visited.
At Kaya, we pride ourselves on delivering only what is best for our volunteers and best for the communities which we are working with. You will find many volunteer organizations to chose between today, and many of these are also offering great placements around the world. But we believe that no-one works closer with their volunteers and with the receiving communities on the ground to make sure everyone can achieve the greatest benefits that volunteering has to offer.
For those of you who have skills that can benefit the projects, and even if you are looking to develop your professional skills in a developing country, your help is invaluable and Kaya staff will work with you to ensure your role matches your skill.
Internships, group ventures and specialist projects can be arranged by request.
