Community Action
Contribute to creating positive change in a local community, where small actions can have a great impact
Since 2000 Aussie Action Abroad (formally OzQuest) has offered participants unique opportunities to share skills and contribute to the rural Nepali communities through community development projects while being immersed in the natural wonders, embracing communities and culture of Nepal.
Over Easter 2025, we will offer particiapants an opportunity continue to improve the learning environment of students in remote schools, building on our education and training programs.
The Team will work in the Lamjung district of Nepal enabling communities to receive much needed support, advice and resources.
Aussie Action Abroad Ltd (AAA) uses basic accommodation at all times. Depending on location and practicality, this may include camping (tents supplied), dormitories, local hostel accommodation and basic hotels.
Prior to departure, AAA provides participants with all the information they need regarding gear, innoculations, culture & climate, etc. Detailed material will be sent on enquiry which includes an outlined program of planned activity.
Project funds: 10% of each participant fee is allocated to the purchase of materials for projects, but you may choose to seek additional funds from your community to add to the finances available. All funds raised will be given to partner organisations when the group is in Nepal.
Please note: Schedules, activities and events may change slightly

“I loved experiencing a culture that is strong-willed and determined, yet so easy-going and genuinely happy. The adversities faced by the local Nepali people is what keeps them going day in day out, and the generosity of Westerners is a gift well and truly deserved.”
