Volunteer Society Nepal (VSN) was founded in 2004 as a non-profit, non-political, and non-religious volunteer organization. Since its establishment, VSN Nepal has successfully implemented community-based volunteer initiatives in Nepal, aiming to support disadvantaged women, children, and communities.
VSN Nepal was founded on the belief that we could do more for volunteers, and simultaneously do more for the development of our home-country
During the decade-long civil war from 1995, Nepal’s fragile economy was shattered. Already poor families now had even bleaker opportunities for a decent livelihood. Children and women became even more vulnerable to abuse, exploitation, family separation, recruitment for conflict-related purposes, and illegal detention. This merely compounded the issues associated with Nepal’s long history of caste discrimination and social marginalization, which causes immense disparities within society.
At the height of the conflict in 2004 we gathered a team of Nepalese development workers, including social activists, and international and national volunteers because we believed we could combat the prevalent shortages of Education, Health, and Women’s Rights in Nepal more efficiently than the existing international organizations.
We offer volunteer placements at Nepal’s high Himalayan mountain regions and ancient cultural cities
If you are looking to volunteer in a rural area far from Western comforts then have a look at the options in the Himalayan Region (Salleri and Okhaldhunga). Or if you prefer to volunteer in the heart of Nepal’s bustling capital then there is lots of work that needs doing in Kathmandu. Or if you want a bit of both then take a look at Pokhara, Dhulikhel, and Banepa.
