Namaste...Volunteers Initiative Nepal (VIN) is a non-religious, non-political, non-governmental and not-for-profit volunteer andinternship organization founded in 2005. We aim to empow-er marginalized communities by implementing integratedand holistic approaches for community development. Wom-en and children are the core focus of the organization. Im-proving the life conditions of women and children is crucialto alleviating poverty in Nepal, as such VIN seeks to addresscommunity issues through four major projects: women’s em-powerment, children’s development, community health and youth empowerment. Educa-tion, health, income and basic infra-structure are the four pillars of our initiatives to empowerthe marginalized and disadvantaged communities in Nepal.

VIN’s mission is to empower marginalized communities, with

a focus on women and chil-

“Volunteering is the ideal balancebetween giving and receiving. In turn

for your time and effort youexperience true culture, establish

lifelong friendships and essentiallychange the way you see the world”

- Bhupendra Ghimire, Founder, Executive Director of VIN

dren, through enhanced edu-

cational projects and commu-

nity training to promote

equality, economic wellbeing

and basic human rights.

VIN piloted its first project through the

Jitpurphedi Village Development Com-

mittee (VDC). The village is part of the Kathmandu District. Even though it is so close to the

country’s capital, it is a marginalized and shadowed community. Feasibility and preliminary

studies revealed that the education level and the living standards of the people were very

low. There were not any organizations working in the area, so when introduced to VIN the

local community showed an immense interest. VIN therefore chose to focus on this site and

has been working there since the beginning of 2007.

VIN has now extended its working area to Okhaldhunga (Everest region) 250 Km north eastof Kathmandu.
