Welcome To Volunteer Society Nepal (VSN)
Empowering Women
Nepal boasts a culturally diverse and abundant landscape; however, it unfortunately perpetuates entrenched gender biases. Women frequently find themselves confined to subordinate positions, limited to domestic responsibilities, and deprived of educational and employment opportunities.
Child Education
Education serves as the bedrock for the progress of every country, and Nepal is not an exception to this. Nevertheless, the education system in this nation encounters significant challenges that hinder its capacity to offer optimal learning prospects to all its inhabitants.
Disability Assistance
Raising a child with a disability poses unique challenges, including the emotional stress and physical exhaustion that come with being a family caregiver. Whether your child is dealing with developmental or physical difficulties, their disability can have a profound impact on both your lives.

Combine volunteering with Tour Or Trekking
The geographical and cultural landscape of Nepal, along with the warmth and generosity of its people, cannot be fully described in words. It is a sentiment that goes beyond what the eyes can see and touches the depths of the heart.

Nikita from the Netherlands celebrating Losar – Tibetan New Year in the Himalayan region of Salleri 🇳🇵
While volunteering in our Teaching Program, she didn’t just contribute to the local school — she became part of the community. Visiting the monastery, offering prayers, sharing smiles with local families, and celebrating alongside the Himalayan community made this experience truly meaningful.
Volunteering is not only about giving.
It is about learning.
It is about cultural exchange.
It is about immersion.
From classroom teaching to monastery blessings — this is the beauty of volunteering in Nepal.

We are delighted to welcome Aurora, Cecilia, Carolina, and Margherita from Italy to Nepal 🇮🇹🇳🇵
This inspiring medical elective group has joined us for two weeks at a local hospital in Kathmandu, where they will gain hands-on exposure to Nepal’s healthcare system while working alongside local doctors and medical staff.
During their placement, they will observe clinical procedures, support patient care, and experience the realities of medicine in a different cultural and resource setting.
Medical electives in Nepal are more than hospital rotations — they are about global health learning, cultural exchange, and stepping outside your comfort zone.

Teaching in the Himalayas. Living beyond the classroom.
During her Teaching Volunteering Program in Salleri, Nikita Rykelykhuizen from the Netherlands didn’t just support students at the local school — she embraced the full Himalayan experience.
During the holidays, she hiked to Ratnange Dada, a nearby viewpoint offering breathtaking panoramic views of the Himalayas. Surrounded by snow-capped peaks, fresh mountain air, and new local friends, every step became part of the journey.
From teaching young minds in the classroom to trekking scenic trails with the community, volunteering in the Himalayan region is about connection — with people, culture, and nature.
This is more than volunteering.
This is living in the Himalayas.
