DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS

Construction:

Construction basically includes building toilets and playgrounds, repair and maintenance of primary school, painting the school, constructing local taps for drinking water. It basically complies of moreover physical work most of the time. Global Partnership carries out different types and phases of construction work through out the year around program locations. You will find a wide variety of these projects to choose in almost every part of Nepal. Typical task to expect includes building pathways, transporting building materials, scraping and painting walls, hammering etc.



Community Awareness:

Due to the lack of awareness in people they are suffering from different kind of issues and health problem. All the people around the rural parts follow old traditional ways of life and practice. Most of those practices are harmful for health and barrier for the development of community.

Volunteers will analysis the problem and need of community first and then prepare the plan to give the community needed awareness and education. They will teach the community and make them aware respecting their traditional practices and thinking. While teaching and community involvement volunteers have to give emphasis on female education and empowerment. They will also provide first aid information in the local village.

Volunteers will also teach health education involving the youth clubs or a women group in the community about health and sanitation. You will also provide first aid information in the local village to the local people. We prefer medical student as volunteer for this program however we do accept other with some experience in this area.

Raise Awareness about Environment Issue & Sanitation:

More than 70% of Nepal people still use forestry products for energy and farming. As a result forests are being thinner and thinner day-by-day. Volunteers will work with local NGO’s for the prevention and solution. Volunteers will teach environmental education for about 2 to 3 hours each day for six day a week (Saturday is off). Volunteers will also be involved in sharing their ideas, skills and knowledge with local about environmental issues. Volunteers will form a group among the students that will work in the environmental areas inside and outside schools. This will include activities such as creating green clubs, making a flower garden, planting trees, garbage management, paper recycling, making smoke less stoves, making toilet pit using local materials etc.

The main aim of the project is to create environmental awareness, minimize natural disaster like soil-erosion, flood and landslide. Another important aim is to create better air and minimize the pollution with making a green belt of trees by combined effort of locals and international volunteers.

In some camps we may construct local roads and build toilets in the local schools and the advantages of proper sanitation will be discussed with the locals. Volunteers will also be involved in sharing their ideas, skills and knowledge with local NGO’s.



Agriculture:

Agriculture is one of the oldest occupations in Nepal and approximately 90% of our population works in this sector. There was a major breakthrough in agricultural production in the 1960's with the introduction of the new agricultural technology based on the high yielding variety of crops. The success of Nepalese agriculture, however, lies in the successful transfer of this new technology to the fields. Agricultural Sciences and allied fields are continually developing and changing as new knowledge is gained through research and new technology revolutionizes working methods. The fields allied to agriculture cover areas like horticulture, animal husbandry and veterinary sciences, dairy science, sericulture, fisheries and forestry, seed collection and distribution, erosion and flood control etc. Horticulture involves doing research work on plants and is a much-applied field. It is a science that includes floriculture or cultivation of flowers. In agriculture the volunteer has to be actively involved in planting, harvesting, marketing and other aspects of fieldwork.
