Volunteering is powerful! It can change lives and shape communities for the better. Join us in Nepal to celebrate International Volunteer Day, where you will be part of a vibrant event that honors volunteers and their incredible contributions to community development. By joining this work camp, you will help recognize the hard work of local and international volunteers and raise awareness about the importance of volunteerism in making a social impact. Why International Volunteer Day Matters Every year, volunteers from all around the world come together to celebrate their dedication to improving communities. The United Nations created International Volunteer Day (IVD) to honor volunteers and highlight their contributions to global development. It’s a day to raise awareness about the power of volunteerism and how it can drive positive change in communities. In Nepal, where many communities face limited resources and access to education and healthcare, the role of volunteers is even more crucial. Volunteers contribute to community-driven development projects.

Volunteers Initiative Nepal

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
