Volunteer Society Nepal : The best experience for volunteers, the best value for Nepal.
Volunteer Society Nepal is a Nepal-based, Nepali-run company that wants to give you the most unforgettable and meaningful experience. We make sure that your work brings Nepal and the Nepali communities the maximum benefit and the most sustainable, long-term transformation possible. Join us in our work to improve the situation of Nepal, while experiencing the rich culture, natural splendour and daily life of our spectacular country!
Volunteer Society Nepal is founded on the dream that brave and generous volunteers from across all backgrounds can work together to bring about genuine, sustainable change for Nepali communities. We encourage and invite international volunteers to improve the situation of Nepal. We do this by being flexible to our volunteers’ needs and keeping costs low.
Nepal is an astonishingly beautiful and diverse country, ranging from the well-known peaks of the Himalaya to the low-lying regions of the Terai. The Nepali people also foster a wealth of cultural diversity, with over 70 languages or dialects and scores of traditional festivals celebrated throughout the year. The nation deserves to take pride in having a unique, and very rich cultural and historical background.
Nepal is also an under-developed country, with low rates of literacy, high rates of poverty and a persistent gender imbalance. Nepal is one of the most beautiful, culturally rich and welcoming country in the world. It is home to Mount Everest, the birthplace of Lord Buddha, and an astonishingly beautiful and diverse landscape, ranging from the well-known peaks of the Himalaya to the low-lying regions of the Terai. The Nepali people are as diverse at the geography, with over 70 languages or dialects and scores of traditional festivals celebrated throughout the year. However, the government is frequently unable to provide adequate education and health facilities throughout the country and both urban and rural areas are forced to live without necessary resources to promote growth and development of their communities:
Volunteer Society Nepal (VSN) seeks to address the issues of literacy, poverty and gender imbalance by partnering with institutions and organizations in Nepali communities and ensures that the progress made is sustainable. VSN co-ordinates construction, health, environmental, educational and income generating projects throughout economically poor areas of Nepal. These projects provide opportunities for national and international volunteers to assist in the development of Nepal. To make sure that volunteers are well prepared, Volunteer Society Nepal runs a cultural exchange program, Nepali language and cultural classes and a home stay program in Nepal.
Volunteering in Nepal can be an extremely rewarding and life-changing experience. Your efforts can bring great changes in the lives of individual people and the wider community. This cannot be said enough. In the difficult times that Nepal is facing, your contribution of time or resources is extremely valuable. Our unique position as a Nepali run company means we know our country better and this allows us to reduce overheads, yet still provide fantastic service equal to the high cost international agencies. From the the very first day of our volunteers’ arrival until your departure from Nepal, we do everything possible to make sure our volunteers will have a safe, meaningful and pleasant stay. We make sure all our volunteers are well prepared before beginning work as a volunteer. We provide you orientations, training in Nepali language, culture, work practices and guided sight-seeing tours.
We have placed hundreds of volunteers from 17 to 76 years old from all over the world. All of them have had a great experience while they made a meaningful contribution in supporting local disadvantaged & marginalized communities. After returning to their homes safe and sound, many of them have already come back to Nepal and many have made plans to come back again to join us.
