Enabling and Empowering People in Rural Nepal

Volunteers Initiative Nepal (VIN) has an integrated approach to social development work. They work WITH all the local stakeholders and work towards empowering the communities through education and implementation of basic health and sanitation.
Poverty is a complex phenomenon; its causes and symptoms are complex and there is no one-fits-all solution. Education alone isn't enough, healthcare alone will create positive lasting change nor will the sole support of women's and children's programs.
VIN addresses all and after a period of 5-7 years they pull out their active presence in the community and leave the various programs to the locals to develop and continue. I believe that this holistic way of working is the only way to sustainable development.
