Nepal’s remote and rural communities often face limited access to healthcare services, making education in first aid, disaster response, and preventative care more important than ever.
On this meaningful program, you'll work alongside local first responders and community members to help strengthen emergency preparedness and promote everyday health and safety. From delivering basic first aid workshops to supporting local health initiatives, your skills, knowledge, and passion can make a real impact.
Through our partnerships in Nepal, we work with various community members, including local schools, women groups and healthcare facilities as we work on a range of projects that aim to improve community health. As part of our Health Promotion Challenge, you will get to work on these hands-on, creating long-term sustainable impact. Supported by our team on the ground, you will be:
Designing and delivering first aid and CPR workshops with local learners and teachers at our partner schools!
Working with the wider community to help train them in administering first aid and treating themselves and their families in an emergency!
Observing and assisting local health clinics in order to gain a better understanding of local facilities, processes and resources available!
Why not continue your adventure and embark on the epic 5-day Poon Hill trek!
Beginning in Pokhara, you'll have an afternoon to stroll around the lakeside city before getting ready to start your trek the following day. You'll pass through picturesque mountain villages, lush forests and small streams as you make your way to the Poon Hill summit - 3200m above sea level. The Poon Hill lookout has the most incredible panoramic views of the Annapurna ranges that you'll be lucky enough to see at sunrise before beginning your descent, after you've ticked trekking in the highest mountain range in the world off your bucket list!
If you have work experience or are studying in a field related to medicine, nursing, public health, biomedicine, allied healthcare or science, this challenge is perfect for you! Join a team of likeminded people and use your skills, knowledge and passions to make an impact on global health and well-being.
Build your own community of people who care and inspire a team of Global Citizens to join you on this epic adventure... become a Challenge Leader! This is your chance to step up as a global leader and showcase your awesome leadership skills. Not only will you feel a great sense of achievement, but it's an experience that's guaranteed to make you stand out in any future employment opportunity.
