Volunteer Society Nepal : The best experience for volunteers, the best value for Nepal.
Volunteer Society Nepal is guided by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals to make an impact in our communities and projects. Below we list the Goals that we support and explain what they are about.
No Poverty. We’re committed to eradicating poverty in the communities we support. We do this through the creation of better education and healthcare and through empowering marginalised communities.
Zero Hunger. Through education we aim to enable the next generation to address issues around food wastage and nutrition.
Good Health & Well-Being. Through our Health Volunteering programs we use education to raise awareness of health related issues. We promote healthy lifestyles amongst communities. For example through workshops on healthy lifestyle and nutrition.
Quality Education. For us, quality education is the key to eradicating poverty. Through our Volunteer in Education programs we create opportunities for children, women and young people to learn and grow.
Gender Equality. We use education as a means to drive greater gender equality in the communities we support. Through the Women Center, we provide formal and informal skills for women to receive an education and support each other. We also believe that our female volunteers inspire the next generation of female leaders in Nepal.
Clean Water & Sanitation. We work to provide access to clean drinking water in the communities we support, through our construction programs. Volunteers help with creating new toilet blocks and setting up water points at schools.
Reduced Inequalities. Through all of our projects, we focus on creating greater economic opportunities for disadvantaged communities in Nepal. For example by providing education for the ones who cannot afford. Or by setting up traineeships at our office and schooling the women at the Women Center.
Climate Action. Through our Climate Ambassador Program our volunteers give workshops and organize clean-up events at the schools.
Partnerships for the Goals. The Sustainable Development Goals can only be realized with a strong dedication to partnerships and cooperation. We rely on strong local partnerships with all our project partners. At the same time we work together with schools, universities, foundations and companies abroad.
