VIN's mission is to empower marginalized communities, with a focus on women and children, through enhanced educational programs and community training to promote equality, economic wellbeing and basic human rights.

Unlike many other development NGOs, VIN serves to directly put efforts for change in the hands of local people. It actively encourages people to volunteer within their communities, aiming to unite all sectors of society in working together to set up and run local projects.

VIN has been implementing its holistic community empowerment projects in the Everest region, Okhaldhunga, outskirt of Kathmandu and Nuwakot. There are also projects located elsewhere in the country based on the need and demands of the people.

VIN's main focus is on our four key programs. These are -

• Women's Empowerment
• Children's Development
• Youth Development
• Public Health & Medical Care
• Environment Conservation
• Disaster Risk Reduction
  
  

Our volunteer and internship programs include

International Journalism , Disability & Inclusion , Gender Equality, Child Development , Environment Conservation , Youth Empowerment , Disaster Risk Reduction , Animal Welfare and Protection , Disabled Elderly , Administrative Volunteering , Featured Programs , Women's Empowerment , Teaching Volunteer , Public Health & Medical Care , Management & Administration , Travel Volunteer

In addition, VIN helps to place volunteers in monasteries and nunneries, and there are many additional smaller-scale projects including how to apply for grants, fundraising, computer technology and construction and manual work. Details for all of these can be found on the VIN website.

We also organize affordable adventure programs, e.g. trekking, hiking, sightseeing, bungee jump, White water rafting, jungle safari, mountain flights through our partner institutes. The cost will be way cheaper and it also gives a little money for the organization's projects in the community. So you can make many things in one with VIN. We ensure your memorable and life-changing experience with us
