This internship aims to contribute to the empowerment and education of women, which are very important drivers of development in disadvantaged countries. In Nepal, many women still do not have access to education, which is a real barrier to the improvement of living standards in these communities.

Like all humanitarian internship programs, the project in Nepal allows you to validate your year while making a positive and lasting impact on the local community. This internship is reserved for women.

Many of these women work as domestic helpers or homemakers and face challenges in a world where reading, writing, and education are essential for independence. In this program, your goal is to teach women of all ages who are illiterate. You will help them become more autonomous and confident in their professional and personal lives.
