About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

We are a not-for-profit, non-governmental volunteer organization (NGO) based in Kathmandu, working for marginalized & disadvantaged communities of Nepal. International Volunteering in Nepal is one of the strategies we use to empower rural communities. We have deployed thousands of national and international volunteers in Nepal. The community service volunteer has significantly impacted to achieve our mission.

Our mission is to empower marginalized communities through equitable, inclusive, and holistic development programs.

As one of the responsible community service organizations, our mission is to empower marginalized communities through equitable, inclusive, and holistic development programs. Our volunteer organization welcomes volunteers in Nepal from all over the world to achieve this mission.

Our Approach: We are probably the first volunteering organization offering volunteer opportunities to use a fully holistic approach to community development. We believe education, health & environment, economy, and basic infrastructure are the major pillars of community development. Our community programs support these development pillars. Hence, we focus equally on all four development pillars while implementing our projects. We have designed all our International Volunteering in Nepal projects based on these four pillars of development.

💼 What the programme involves

Each year in Nepal an estimated 10,000-15,000 girls are trafficked across the border to be sold into Indian brothels or forced to become domestic servants, beg- gars, factory workers or other workers. This project aims to prevent the trafficking of girls from Nepal, within the country or outside. Many young girls, women are vulnerable to trafficking due to lack of education among the people. The volunteer will educate the students, people at the schools and community. How you can help • Prepare resources (leaflet, pamphlet, brochures etc.) on trafficking prevention • Impart awareness on women’s trafficking prevention at the schools, community. • Provide various classes on women’s right, life skills as per necessity. • Conduct awareness campaign projects in the community.
