Job Description

Volunteers Initiative Nepal (VIN) is a non-governmental,non-profitable organization, founded in 2005 by a diverse group drawn from development workers, educationalists, social activists and other professionals.

VIN's mission is to empower marginalized communities, with a focus on women and children, through enhanced educational programs and community training to promote equality, economic wellbeing and basic human rights.

Unlike many other development NGOs, VIN serves to directly put efforts for change in the hands of local people. It actively encourages people to volunteer within their communities, aiming to unite all sectors of society in working together to set up and run local projects.

VIN has been implementing its holistic community empowerment projects in the Everest region, Okhaldhunga, outskirt of Kathmandu and Nuwakot. There are also projects located elsewhere in the country based on the need and demands of the people.

VIN's main focus is on our four key programs. These are -

Women's Empowerment

Children's Development

Youth Development

Public Health & Medical Care

Environment Conservation

Disaster Risk Reduction

Our volunteer and internship programs include

International Journalism , Disability & Inclusion , Gender Equality, Child Development , Environment Conservation , Youth Empowerment , Disaster Risk Reduction , Animal Welfare and Protection , Disabled Elderly , Administrative Volunteering , Featured Programs , Women's Empowerment , Teaching Volunteer , Public Health & Medical Care , Management & Administration , Travel Volunteer

In addition, VIN helps to place volunteers in monasteries and nunneries, and there are many additional smaller-scale projects including how to apply for grants, fundraising, computer technology and construction and manual work. Details for all of these can be found on the VIN website.

We also organize affordable adventure programs, e.g. trekking, hiking, sightseeing, bungee jump, White water rafting, jungle safari, mountain flights through our partner institutes. The cost will be way cheaper and it also gives a little money for the organization's projects in the community. So you can make many things in one with VIN. We ensure your memorable and life-changing experience with us

Early childhood is the most important period of learning for every human being. It is during this time that children develop their cognitive, emotional, and social skills. Studies show that children who are nurtured in a stimulating environment are more likely to grow up healthy and have high self-esteem.

Nepal is a leader in the field of early childhood education. A 2019 UNICEF report found that children who participated in early childhood education programs were 17 times more likely to be on track in their early learning and number skills. However, Nepal's national education budget allocation is less than 3% to pre-primary education, which severely impacts the development opportunities for children in the early stages of their education.

VIN's voluntary service for child care and early childhood education has been very impactful in the rural communities of Nepal. People in Nepal have limited awareness of the importance of early childhood education and limited access to resources. VIN has set up early childhood education centers (ECDCs) in these much-needed communities. These centers provide children with a stimulating environment where they can learn and grow. They also provide parents with education and support on how to best care for their children.

VIN's ECDCs are making a real difference in the lives of children in Nepal. They are helping to ensure that all children have the opportunity to reach their full potential.
