🏢 About the local organisation

Volunteers Initiative Nepal (VIN) is an NGO with the mission to empower marginalised communities through inclusive and holistic development programmes. This is done through the following project areas: • Education • Health and Environment • Economy • Basic Infrastructure Within the above project areas, we conduct the following programmes: • Women’s Empowerment • Children’s Development • Youth Empowerment • Disaster Risk Reduction • Environment and Conservation • Public Health and Medical Care https://www.volunteersinitiativenepal.org/

💼 What the programme involves

Microcredit Cooperative Support projects have been key to the recent surge of women’s income generation projects. VIN’s support and training has enabled many women to join the Women`s Microcredit Cooperative. Women are now afforded credit. This in turn permits them to start their own income generation activities, such as goat keeping and vegetable farming. Your role is critical to advancing the functionality of these cooperatives. Daily Activities • Support VIN to set up women’s cooperatives to run micro-credits. • Establish or strengthen social groups of women to create solidarity and reinforce microcredit. • Facilitate and advance functionality of microcredit cooperatives. • Develop small grant proposals to fund women’s empowerment projects. • If possible: research for funding agencies and raise funds for local projects

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers stay with the host family/hostel identified by VIN. The living conditions at the host family/ hostel are simple and basic. Male and female volunteers will share the same living area but have separate sleeping rooms. The volunteers sleep on simple beds/mattresses. Please bring your sleeping bag. The food will be provided in Nepali standard i.e. dal Bhat (rice, lentil soup, vegetables, pickle, eggs).
