Volunteers Initiative Nepal - Introduction

Volunteers Initiative Nepal (VIN) is a not-for-profit NGO based in Kathmandu, working in rural communities of Nepal. We have deployed thousands of volunteers in our holistic development programs.
Get involved with us by volunteering, internship, donation, child sponsorship and much more. www.vin.org.np
Our mission is to empower marginalized communities through equitable, inclusive and holistic development programs.
There are four pillars in our developmental approach: Education, Health & Environment, Economy and Basic infrastructure development.
These four pillars of development are supported by six major community empowerment programs namely Women’s Empowerment Program, Children’s Development Program, Youth Empowerment Program, Public Health & Medical Program, Environment Conservation Program and Disaster Risk Reduction Program. All VIN’s developmental and humanitarian programs are aligned with UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Learn more about VIN on www.volunteersinitiativenepal.org
