Future Nepal is a volunteer organization in Nepal established in 2002 and registered with the Social Welfare Council of Nepal. It is a non-governmental and non-profit organization working under the principle of “change society by volunteering.” It was established with the objective of improving and promoting the status of the country through volunteering in Nepal. The members of the organization have extensive experience in volunteer work and are familiar with the various problems of society. At Future Nepal, we invite you to embark on a journey of positive change and contribute to a brighter future for Nepal. Whether you are a dedicated group, a passionate organization, or an individual seeking to make a meaningful impact, we extend a warm welcome. Established in 2002 and registered with the Social Welfare Council of Nepal, we are a non-governmental and non-profit volunteering organization committed to making a difference. Our mission is simple yet profound: to provide meaningful opportunities for volunteers and ourselves to foster a deeper understanding of one another. We welcome volunteers from around the world, offering them the chance to engage in life-changing projects across various fields.
The Good Karma Foundation invites individuals of all ages and professions to experience the heart of rural Nepal through our “Holistic Community Development” program. Designed as a meaningful break from routine, this initiative allows students, gap-year travelers, and professionals to help build resilient communities while forming strong personal connections with local people. Your journey begins with a warm welcome at Kathmandu Airport and a guided city tour, followed by a scenic seven-hour drive to Lamjung district—the gateway to the Annapurna region. By staying in villages like Khudi and Siurung, you become part of a framework that supports social and economic development in rural communities. Once settled, volunteers take part in a variety of activities, including teaching in local schools, light construction work, organic farming, and preparing traditional meals. We see volunteering as a two-way cultural exchange, where you contribute to local development while learning from the traditions and daily life of diverse ethnic groups, including Brahmin, Gurung, Tamang, and Newar communities. Accommodation is provided in a safe, earthquake-resistant volunteer house built with Korean technology, offering a comfortable communal living space that encourages international friendship. Meals are prepared using fresh local ingredients such as vegetables, milk, and honey. The program is set in the stunning landscape of the Mansiri Himal range, with views of Manaslu, Himalchuli, and Ngadi Chuli. Weekends are free for exploration and relaxation, including hikes to nearby viewpoints, visits to waterfalls and hot springs, yoga in nature, or swimming in the Marshyangdi River. This program offers a balanced mix of cultural immersion, adventure, and community development, creating meaningful experiences and lasting memories.
Started as a free school to provide education to village children in 2015, the program expanded its approach to include organic agriculture, animal husbandry, and a platform for volunteering to share knowledge and experience, and more importantly, contribute to sustainability. Officially registered as a non-profit organisation by the government and recognised by international institutions since 2022, we provide volunteers with a unique experience of living with our team in our village program while practising humanity through our humanitarian projects in education, agriculture, and construction. We care and share, and also utilise time for activities for self-development, recreation, and relaxation, supporting inner peace and happiness through a simple way of life close to nature, with greenery around us and beautiful mountain views in front of us.
