Volunteer
Society Nepal Volunteer Programmes in Nepal
offer a unique volunteering opportunity for
individuals, couples, groups, students and experts,
as well as senior and youth professionals from
all over the world to make a contribution to
Nepali society. At the same time volunteers
experience the rich culture, natural splendour
and daily life of Nepal, one of the most beautiful
countries of the world.
The mission and objective of the VSN Volunteer
Program in Nepal is to encourage and invite
International/National volunteers to contribute
to community development, education development,
as well as health and environmental activities
of the Nepali people. Our programs in Nepal
promote the volunteering opportunity in Nepal
for individuals to build international links
and mutual friendship, through a global partnership.
It is our belief that through hard-work and
positive thinking, we can all help to improve
cultural tolerance and encourage world peace.It
is of course better to have previous working
experience but NO EXPERIENCE IS NECESSARY to
take part in most of the programs and VSN strongly
encourages all applicants who have a positive
outlook and a strong desire to help improve
Nepal. All volunteers will enjoy a unique opportunity
for travel,adventure and exploration (both natural
beauty and self-exploration).
Volunteers will experience life in Nepal first-hand,
working alongside Nepali people to help support
local communities in Nepal. In this way, volunteers
will make a meaningful contribution to a disadvantaged
segment of the world community, while participating
in a cultural exchange with local people who
will ultimately be responsible for sustainable
development.
Voluntary work in Nepal can be an extremely
rewarding and life-changing experience. Upon
arrival, and throughout their stay, volunteers
will receive a warm welcome from the Nepali
people, who are famous for their honesty and
hospitality.
Volunteers will live and work in one of the
world’s most diverse countries, with geography
that ranges from the peak of the Himalaya to
the tropical heat of the flat Terai; from the
chaos of Kathmandu to the tranquillity of rural
villages.
Volunteer Society Nepal is an established leading
volunteer organization with professional and
committed staffs. VSN makes sure all our volunteers
are well prepared before beginning work as a
volunteer by providing orientations, training
in Nepali language, culture and work practices.
VSN does everything possible to look after our
volunteers’ safety and make sure they
will have a meaningful and pleasant stay. VSN
volunteer program in Nepal is not merely a volunteer
placement; we customize the programs to match
the need, taste, and interest of our volunteers.

Program
Aim |
The
Volunteer Society Nepal Volunteer
Program aims to assist the sustainable development
of under-developed Nepali communities, through
projects aimed at children, youth and women.
Programs are co-ordinated through rural government
schools and community-based programs, with community-based
programs often initiated with the help of VSN,
volunteers and local community members.
The Volunteer Program achieves its aim by initiating
and/or assisting with sustainable community-based
project development, concentrating on raising
local awareness of fundamental social issues,
including education, health and sanitation and
conservation.
The process of community development is slow
in Nepal, despite the efforts of the government
and rural NGOs. This fact makes the need for
motivated volunteers even greater. Few villages
in Nepal have basic sanitation facilities, resulting
in widespread basic health problems, such as
malnutrition and the spread of water-borne diseases.
Thus, volunteers play a key role in increasing
the ability of communities to address these
issues.
Volunteers participate in creating sustainable
community groups, such as youth groups, student
groups and women’s groups, and will work
very closely with partner NGOs, who are already
working in the field on specific issues, utilizing
their expertise and experience.
Volunteering abroad is also an excellent opportunity
for personal and professional growth and development,
and can provide a sense of individual freedom.
Volunteering in Nepal, especially in rural Nepal,
can be a once in a lifetime opportunity. Volunteering
in Nepal is fun, personally challenging and
adventurous, but throughout your placement you
will enjoy the support of our highly experienced
staff at VSN, who are dedicated to ensuring
the well-being of all volunteers.
