FoVIN partners with the Nepal-based organization Volunteers Initiative Nepal (VIN). We offer affordable volunteering opportunities for interested organizations; groups, couples and individuals who would like to make a contribution to Nepali society, while at the same time experiencing the rich culture, the natural magnificence, and daily life of Nepal. The degree to which volunteers contribute to Nepali communities varies according to their motivation and personal capability. However, no experience is necessary and FoVIN strongly encourages all applicants.
We only have two requirements for our volunteers:
(1) a positive outlook
(2) a strong desire to help people.
All volunteers will enjoy a unique opportunity for travel, adventure, and exploration. You can volunteer in Nepal while you trek or go hiking. Every year, a large number of international volunteers join VIN Volunteers Program and return home with everlasting memories. For this reason, "Volunteerism for Sustainable Development" is our motto.
The mission and objective of the VIN Volunteer Program is to encourage and invite international/national volunteers to contribute to the development of the poorest families and communities the victims of conflict. In addition, we aim to enhance voluntary, global brotherhood among people. Our program promotes the opportunity for individuals to build a mutual friendship and global partnership. Volunteers are encouraged to learn the Nepali language and culture while they volunteer. It is our belief that through hard-work and positive thinking, we can all help to improve cultural tolerance and encourage world peace. Volunteers will experience life in Nepal firsthand, working alongside Nepali people to help support communities in rural Nepal. In this way, they will be making a meaningful contribution to a disadvantaged segment of the world community, while participating in an exchange of ideas and viewpoints with the locals who will ultimately be responsible for sustainable development.
Volunteering with VIN will give you the opportunity to live and work in Nepali communities and learn more about this beautiful culture. VIN runs volunteer programs for people of all ages and all nationalities, working in areas where volunteers can be of most lasting benefit to Nepal and develop themselves at the same time.
