Volunteers Initiative Nepal (VIN)

I strongly recommend that anyone wanting to do humanitarian work in Nepal go with VIN. I went as an osteopath to volunteer in Okhaldhunga region. I was there for 3 weeks. We went to marginalized villages to treat people and to give public health information. The organization is clear and the supervisors are always there if needed. The association provided me with food and accommodation, and a translator was with our group every day so we could communicate with the locals. I am very happy with this organization and highly recommend it.

I had a wonderful two-week international volunteer experience with VIN. The organization is involved in many projects that help marginalized people, and I took part in a women’s empowerment project. I would absolutely recommend an experience like this to anyone! It was a pleasure to volunteer with VIN and its staff, who are all so welcoming and take great care of their volunteers and the communities they work with.

For two weeks, I took part in a volunteering placement with VIN as part of the Raising Peace Campaign project. I had the opportunity to get to know rural communities near Kathmandu; I met women and spoke to them about domestic violence and their rights. It was a wonderful, immersive and fulfilling experience. VIN supported me right from the start, even before I set off, by providing me with all the necessary information and assistance. Even during my time as a volunteer, they were always attentive, approachable and ready to help. It was truly wonderful to volunteer with VIN, an organisation that is deeply committed and active on the ground; I felt part of a great project and a shared vision.
