About Us

Voluntary Service in Nepal is an extremely rewarding and life-changing experience. Upon arrival of volunteer, and throughout their stay, volunteers will receive a warm welcome from the Nepali people, who are famous for their honesty and hospitality. They will live and work in one of the world’s most diverse countries, with geography that divides from the peak of the Himalayas to the tropical heat of the flat Terai; and socially, from the chaotic Kathmandu to the tranquility of the many rural villages.

Mission and Vision

The mission and objective of CUS-Nepal is to encourage and invite international and local volunteers to lend a helping hand to local people in the developing country, while offering our participants the chance to learn about non-western cultures in a unique way. It's not about building resumes. It's about getting outside of one's comfort zone and seeing what's out there in this universe of ours, sharing yourself and your culture, and making a meaningful contribution to some of its citizens. It's a big universe indeed.
