About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

VIN initiated its disaster relief project to help the victim right after the massive earthquake on 25th Aprll, 2015. We have completed two phases of disaster relief project 1) Rapid response phase and 2 ) Rehabilitation Phase. Now VIN's future goal is "Reconstruction and Sustainability" This is our long term phase. We will be working until the reconstruction completes in our earthquake affected communities. Our projects include WASH (Water Sanitation & Hygiene), Rebuilding Earthquake Resistant Infrastructure (RERI), Earthquake Resistant Home Construction Education (REECH), and Entrepreneurship Building. We will be working under different phases simultaneously. Note: The volunteers will be involved in the projects that VIN implements in the working sites like Okhaldhunga, Nuwakot and Kathmandu. Volunteers with special skills to suit the professional skills are encouraged to apply.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Accommodation VIN arranges accommodation for your induction period and your placement peri- od, this means two to three nights at a hotel in Thamel, Kathmandu and then your host family or monastery/nunnery. The costs are covered by your project fee. In placement accommodation, your sleeping arrangements may be private or shared and in most cases you will be required to share a bathroom and toilet facilities with your host family or the monks/nuns. It is important for you to realize that bath- room and toilet facilities and standards of hygiene will be in accordance with local standards. These facilities and standards may sometimes be very basic and may not be up to in western standards. You must be prepared to cope with this.

🍲 Food

Food VIN provides food during the placement from the project fee. You will receive at least two meals a day throughout the placement, which will be of Nepali standards and usually Daal Bhat (lentil soup and rice), vegetable curry, pickle etc. If you wish to supplement your diet with other food the responsibility and cost lies with you. We will only cover food and accom- modation for the period agreed for your placement and only at your placement. In most cases you will be staying with a host family after the project induction and will share the same food with them. Should you have any specific dietary needs, please let us know before your arrival in Nepal. Should you wish to visit the city on the weekends then you must cover your own food and accommodation costs.
