Volunteer in Nepal


Are you passionate about art? Could you share your love of art with willing students? We are currently seeking artists prepared to donate their time and energy to help victims of child trafficking in their rehabilitation. If you believe you have the skills, patience and resourcefulness to make a difference, please read on…

Our second Child Trafficking Victims Art Workshop is currently underway just outside Kathmandu. We teach young female survivors of child trafficking a range of marketable art skills that can help them to permanently escape the clutches of poverty.

Each three-month workshop provides art therapy and valuable training to victims of trafficking. We utilise the talents of professional artists who wish share their knowledge with willing students while at the same time experiencing the trip of a lifetime. Translators are at hand to help throughout each workshop. Alex Hunter (ceramics, pictured right) and Rebecca Hawkins (sculpture) have coordinated the first two workshops, and have already made a huge impact. To read more about Rebecca's experiences, click here .

How does it work?
We ask that you fund your airfare and try to make a minimum commitment for a full 3-month workshop - it takes time to establish relationships with the children and we want your trip to be as rewarding for you as it is to them. (In exceptional circumstances we can negotiate shorter placements.)

In return your accommodation, local meals and insurance are provided by us.

Please send your CV to camilla.kinchin@ebtrust.org.uk if you are interested in helping Nepal's child trafficking victims to a brighter future.
