About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Join a transformative volunteer opportunity in Nepal through the European Solidarity Corps! Partnering with IBOItalia and Volunteers Initiative Nepal (VIN), this project focuses on enhancing the lives of marginalized communities, especially children. Volunteers will engage in various educational and developmental activities, promoting children's rights, and fostering positive parenting practices. This mission, part of the ECHAV project, aims to empower vulnerable communities through humanitarian aid and build local resilience. Volunteers have to be present on the 1st of september to begin the project and leave on or after the 29th of october.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will stay at the Community Learning Centre (CLC) in Okhaldhunga, offering comfortable bunk beds, a shared kitchen, and living spaces. Meals will consist mainly of traditional Nepalese food. VIN will arrange airport pick-up, initial accommodation at their headquarters, and transportation to Okhaldhunga, approx. 7-8 hours away by jeep. Volunteers will receive an allowance of 32€ per day to cover flight tickets, Visa costs, vaccinations and other personal expenses. The first month’s allowance will be received on the first day (01/09). Volunteers will also receive insurance coverage.

🎒 Leisure activities

Volunteers will receive comprehensive training upon arrival at VIN's headquarters in Kathmandu. This induction will cover cultural orientation, safety guidelines, and specific training related to their roles. Continuous support and additional training will be provided throughout the volunteer period to ensure effective participation in educational workshops, child protection initiatives, and community engagement activities.

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
