About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Lithuanian NGDO Platform, in partnership with Volunteers Initiative Nepal, is implementing #Vol4HumAid project to enhance disaster preparedness, response, and recovery in Nepal's Okhaldhunga region. Nepal is prone to natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, landslides, fires, and avalanches due to its geographic location, topography, and climatic conditions. The project aims to create a safer and more resilient community through risk assessments, early warning systems, capacity building, and community-based disaster management. Volunteers will contribute in forming and training disaster management committees in municipalities; increasing disaster risk reduction knowledge and ideas among schools and communities; enhancing early warning and response systems for floods and landslides; increasing community participation in disaster risk reduction 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).
