VIN is a non-governmental, non-political, non-religious, not-for-profit organization which was founded in 2005 by a diverse group drawn from development workers, educationalists, social activists and other professionals. VIN’s mission is to empower marginalised communities, with a focus on women and children, through enhanced educational programs and community training to promote equality, economic well-being and basic human rights. Community Focused Programmes VIN has a main community based pilot project in Jitpur, a rural community 11km from Kathmandu city. The area was chosen because of its geographical location, lack of development agencies, people interest, and its development needs. VIN has established 4 key programmes in Jitpur:  Women’s Empowerment  Children’s Development  Youth Development  Community Health The organization’s objective is for these programmes to be run by the Jitpur community (independently of VIN) by 2012. Our community volunteering projects are based on around above 4 major programmes. Out of Community Support Programmes VIN runs a number of other volunteer placement programmes not directly related to the Jitpur community but indirectly these programmes still contribute to our main programs. The programmes include:  Teaching English at Buddhist monasteries / nunneries  International journalism  Environment, conservation and agro forestry  Orphanage support  Working with disable people (e.g., deaf, elderly) http://www.volunteeringnepal.org
