Our Mission
The Volunteer World Nepal is a Nepali thought and runs a small organization that uses local and international resources to safeguard the health and well-being of underprivileged Nepali Children and women and to offer them the education, shelter, food and vocational tools to enable them to fully and equally contribute to Nepali society and compete in the global arena.

Nepal is an astounding nation with a rich cultural history, environmental diversity, breathtaking landscapes and a spiritual vibe. Yet it is not without problems: its history has been tumultuous, its geography treacherous. And despite its ever-resilient people, the struggle continues.

During the decade-long civil war beginning in 1995, Nepal’s fragile economy was shattered. Already poor families now had even bleaker opportunities for a decent livelihood. In 2005 the civil war came to an end and Nepal seemed to be able to develop towards a better future… Until the earthquake in 2015 happened threw the country into another spiral of poverty and disaster. Besides this, Nepal has a long history of caste discrimination and social marginalization. This causes immense disparities within society.

Our Values:     

We believe that women and children are the foundation of our society, hence we, at Volunteer World Nepal value the need for all women and children to be given equal opportunities in life regardless of their circumstances. It is our expectation that our practice and work reflect our beliefs and value and we strive to provide the best services possible to those we serve.     

We believe:

• in inclusion and the promotion of multiculturalism,
• that society’s disadvantaged and marginalized people can have a fulfilling future with proper help and support,
• that hope can be rekindled by everyone’s unique contributions,
• that pure drinking water, decent sanitation, proper nutrition, education, and good health care are the foundation on which all future efforts must be built
• that literacy should be a basic civil right and individual self-sufficiency a societal goal,
• that quality education is only the medium and shortest route to bringing marginalized and disadvantaged people out of poverty and despair,
• that safeguarding the environment is part of every responsible educational curriculum
• that no program should be designed or executed without input and involvement from those it is intended to serve
• that those who give their time, talents and resources deserve the respect for their contributions and the satisfaction of knowing the eventual outcome of their efforts
• that all efforts reflect the needs of the community and that any concerns raised are addressed appropriately by members of the community, staff, and volunteers
• that the members of the community and volunteers have the opportunity to express their opinions and contribute ideas to ongoing projects, to ensure that they are continually growing in a positive direction.
