Perhaps you are a devoted Buddhist, or maybe you just want to know more about Buddhism and would like to come to one of the most spiritual places on the planet. Siddhartha Gautama, better known as Buddha, was born in Nepal!

Here at VIN we are dedicated to empowering the most marginalized communities within Nepal. We believe in equality, human rights, women’s rights and children’s rights. Our passion is to make sure that people in Nepal can have an equal chance at being empowered and have access to education and hygiene.

Our programs range from orphanage work, teaching English in schools or in Buddhist monasteries, providing health care services and to construction work such as building toilets in villages. We are a non-government, non-religious organization and need volunteers from all corners of the world to share their skills and their time. Wonderful people like you.

So if you’ve had an inner desire or urge to travel, to experience something incredible and to be part of something bigger… then Nepal is calling you. This could be the sign you’ve been waiting for. And Nepal is waiting for you.
