    About the program

    The Childcare After-School Learning program by Third Eye Foundation Nepal gives volunteers the chance to make a direct and lasting impact on children’s lives.

    Many kids in our neighborhood come from families with limited educational support and therefore need some extra guidance. After school, they join our friendly community center to receive homework help, personal guidance, and creative enrichment.

    As a volunteer, you’ll help children study, read, and prepare for exams, while also leading art, drawing, storytelling, and fun group games. These activities not only support academic growth but also encourage creativity, teamwork, and self-confidence.

    You don’t need formal teaching experience — just a caring heart and enthusiasm to work with children. Your presence helps them learn, laugh, and grow.
