Build a Girls Dormitory in Nepal: November 29-December 14, 2014 and April 4-18, 2015.

Join Edge of Seven in Nepal’s Everest Region to help build a dormitory for 40 girls pursuing a Bachelor’s degree at the local university in the district capital of Salleri.

The dormitory will be built using the earthbag building method and will serve girls who grew up in extremely remote villages, cut off from access to higher education. Girls like Juna Maya, who comes from a village located a 12 hour walk from Salleri and who will be the first member of her family to attend college.

On these trips, volunteers will have the opportunity to trek through the Himalayas and become fully immersed in Nepalese culture, living with local families while contributing each day at the project site. To read a testimonial from an Edge of Seven volunteer, please click here.
