Aniko
Because we offer comfortable accommodation, healthy organic food and the volunteer has the chance to contribute with ideas and activities for the children.
We are like a family. The volunteer will be treated as part of the family. There is always people and our house and we can provide full support with any of the volunteer needs. It includes help with tours and getting to know new places around Nepal.

About the experience in: Pokhara, Nepal
United Kingdom
Really enjoyed my time here! The host, his family, and all those staying at the home were amazing and very welcoming đ It was exam week so I enjoyed helping the kids study in the morning before exams and in the evening for the next day.

I miss this already. One week was definitely too short to stay here, I recommend at least two. I had a wonderful time, and felt treated like family. What Prashna does for the community is incredible and very heartwarming. Something to be proud of.
All my love to the family and the kids

What a wonderful experience !! Itâs a really social human project. Prashna is an incredible host and also an incredible man with a big heart ! He manage the orphanage as a big family, and you will be part of it. The kids/teenagers are so friendly, respectful, lovely. I was sad to leave this place so I will be back to see you again.
All the best for you Prashna and your big family đ

This experience was a highlight of my trip !!
It is extremely flexible to your experience and abilities in volunteering and only requires you to help with the children and/or house chores in the mornings and evenings, leaving the rest of the day free to explore the beautiful Pokhara.
The children are extremely polite and look after you well, and in return I helped them with their schoolwork which I found to be very enjoyable.
The place has comfortable living spaces and includes a washing machine etc.
The accommodation is located about a 30min walk from the town centre (Lakeside).

The family and the children at Aniko were lovely and welcoming. The children loved playing cards games.
However, this experience wasnât what we were expecting. There wasnât any structure or guidance from the host on what volunteering we were meant to be doing. On the advert it stated that there was free hiking tours, this wasnât the case. It also stated 3 meals a day but most days it was only breakfast and dinner. For the extra fee we paid it was disappointing and we didnât feel like we got the opportunity to do much volunteering or make as much of an impact as we had hoped.
