About the volunteering opportunity
Ashavadi Project e.V. - Together for a better future for Nepal
As an association founded by women, we have been working for almost four years to empower people in Nepal and create new prospects for them. Our current focus is on supporting women, as they are the basis for stable families and the driving force for the future of their children. In addition, mental health, which is highly stigmatized in Nepal, is particularly important to us, which is why we want to raise awareness about it with our projects!
With our new projects in 2026, we are focusing specifically on concrete support:
-
Snack making training for women in the Balkhu slum, Kathmandu: We are giving 60 single mothers access to free, two-month training in Nepali snack making, including 15 days of entrepreneurship training. In this way, we are creating opportunities for them to set up their own small business or find employment - and thus provide for their families independently.
- Mental health workshops in rural areas of Nepal: Together with our local partner HAMI, we design workshops in rural areas for young people and older people to reduce the stigmatization of mental illness through education. Topics include mental illness, resilience and dealing with crises and stress. People are also given the opportunity to take advantage of psychological counseling sessions.
Your Tasks
You manage our Instagram and Facebook channel and/or our LinkedIn profile!
- Community management in line with our Ashavadi philosophy: respectful, committed and supportive.
- Content creation & sharing: You regularly post self-created articles and share current information directly from our partner projects in Nepal.
- Network building: You build long-term and trusting relationships with new cooperation partners.
- Increasing reach: You implement targeted measures to increase our social media presence.
Do you have creative ideas or special talents that you would like to contribute? We look forward to your suggestions - your creativity is welcome!
What's needed
For this volunteering opportunity, advanced German skills are required.
Your profile :
Are you passionate about social media and want to use your passion for a good cause? Ideally, this is what you bring to the table:
- Creativity and a good feel for content: You know how to create exciting, target group-oriented posts and design appealing visual content.
- Experience with social media platforms: You know your way around Instagram and Facebook and may already have experience managing social media channels.
- Strong communication skills: You enjoy writing and have a talent for conveying messages clearly and effectively.
- Initiative and reliability: You work independently, like to get stuck in and don't lose track of multiple tasks.
- Team spirit and openness: You are a real team player and contribute your ideas constructively.
- Interest in social commitment: You want to support the people in Nepal and make a real difference with your commitment.
- Basic knowledge of image editing or design tools (e.g. Canva) is a plus, but not a must - we are also happy if you would like to develop your skills in this area.
You don't meet all the requirements, but are highly motivated to get involved? No problem! Much more important is your enthusiasm for our vision and your willingness to learn new things. 😊
