Waste management has become a real problem for Nepal. The country lacks a proper education on the issue, and people are used to throwing trash around without regard for the environment. FFN instituted Waste Management programs with the purpose of raising the issue and educating Nepali people on the benefits of correct waste management, and achieving the goal of a clean Nepal by teaching them about composite and recycling. Background: Nepal is an underdeveloped country. Years of political conflict, poverty and lack of education have prevented the Nepalese people from getting the chances they deserve. At the Friendship Foundation Nepal (FFN), we believe it’s our responsibility to help and try to improve those conditions, but improvements take time. To better a society you must first live in it. In order to change a country’s conditions you must first experience those conditions firsthand. Only after experiencing them you can share your knowledge through teaching, sharing ad interacting, which can in turn have a lasting effect on the local population. You might discover that living with a local family and adjusting to the Nepali lifestyle will have a lasting effect on you too. Work Volunteers will work in schools, to teach children the correct ways of managing waste, and the benefits a correct waste management system.
