What We Stand For

Education. Cultural Exchange. Community.

Pedagogy & Impact Pillar 01 of 03

Supporting Teachers, Inspiring Classrooms

Work alongside local Nepali educators in government and community schools to foster conversational English confidence, interactive math and science exercises, and vibrant reading corners without displacing local staff.

  • Collaborative co-teaching model with local teachers
  • Interactive English conversation and pronunciation games
  • Low-cost, enduring teaching aids that stay in the school
  • Support for eager students in under-resourced rural areas
Why Choose TEN?

A Human, Authentic & Safe Volunteer Model

We reject commercial voluntourism. TEN was founded to connect authentic grassroots schools with passionate international volunteers.

Community-Led Needs

Programs are built upon direct requests from local school headmasters and village committees, not arbitrary commercial itineraries.

Authentic Exchange

Live with welcoming host families, share home-cooked meals, and experience Nepali daily life beyond tourist trails.

No Teacher Cert Required

You do not need to be a certified educator for general volunteering. Enthusiasm, patience, and clear communication are what matter most.

Strict Child Safeguarding

Rigorous vetting, international background checks, mandatory pre-departure training, and strict child protection rules.

Transparent Pricing

Honest fee breakdown with zero hidden commissions. Host families and local coordinators are paid fairly and directly.

End-to-End Support

From Kathmandu airport pickup and cultural orientation to 24/7 on-the-ground support in rural Saptari.
