Work Camp

Work camp is referred to as a short term project where an individual from various religious organisations volunteer to fulfill the immediate need of the society.

We empower the community by four major development initiatives i.e. women empowerment, community health, children development and youth empowerment. Our four pillars of development initiatives are education, health, income & basic infrastructure which are vital for the empowerment of disadvantaged communities.

It is most essential to develop basic infrastructure to achieve the goal of quality education, community health, and income. A school without proper classrooms, playground, fences and decoration cannot contribute to quality education. Most schools in the rural communities in Nepal lack the most basic physical infrastructure.

Poor countries like Nepal lack capital, skilled human resources, technical expertise and proper strategic plan for development. Furthermore, the unstable political turmoil and deep rooted corruption has obstructed the development process. We can empower community by utilizing our own potential and experience in best possible way.

VIN conducts various work camps, Long–term and Mid-Term Volunteering projects. Work camps are organized for those who wish to contribute for the development of marginalised community despite of short time to volunteer. VIN’s work camps are designed to address the immediate need of infrastructure development in the community. The activities are more focused on hands on activities such as constructing toilets in the community, building school compounds, libraries, classroom, painting and decorating school premises, classrooms etc.

We have hosted various work camps with our Asian and European partners around the globe. Our successful work camp activities and immediate result received so far have encouraged us to conduct more work camps in future.

The Long term or Midterm volunteers work for longer time whereas the work campers fulfill the immediate need of a community utilising their limited time and hence creating a positive impact in the community.

VIN’s work camp focuses on providing an immense opportunity for cultural immersion. The work campers will stay with a host family in the community. They will learn about the Nepalese culture, language and lifestyle.

Anyone who is interested to utilise their time and energy for the empowerment of poor and disadvantaged communities in Nepal can apply for participation. Your involvement can make a true difference.

We have 5 different projects under work camp for 2020:

Animal welfare camp 2020

For a sustainable future of the planet and environmental conservation, VIN is going to conduct an Animal Welfare Camp. This camp basically focuses on dogs, work towards a healthy build up, their protection and preservation (may be bathing, bandaging of wounds and much more).

In partnership with different organizations like Community Dog Welfare (CDW) Kapan, VIN helps stray dogs, picks them up and keeps them in the dog welfare camp, where there are experts and volunteers to take care of them. It’s much like running an orphanage but, for animals.

Post disaster and support 2020:

VIN conducts toilets/home construction, and works to restore the cultural heritages that are affected by earthquake. VIN also mobilises work camp volunteers to demolish the damage structure and manage the waste, work for school constructions and their renovation.

With large involvement of local and international volunteers VIN has been successful to construct 200 toilets which have completely changed the face of Jitpurphedi and moving further for more construction. The work campers under this project will be involved in activities such as construction of toilet, impart awareness on the right use of toilets.

Working with deaf children:

VIN conducts this program to support and help deaf children through educational and other activities and the program is going to be conducted at Sindhuli-one of the village of Nepal lying in Earstern Nepal.  VIN works in partnership with Shree Navajyoti Deaf Lower Secondary School which lies at Kamalamai Municipality-6 at Jasedamar village in Sindhuli District.

Fun with Kids:

Much like winter camp, it offers children in the community to learn new things in a new way i.e through fun and games. Volunteers spend their time having ‘Fun with Kids’ teaching them new things and culture. They can also work for school renovations, painting and making school a beautiful place to learn.

Children development work camp 2020:

Children Development is one of the major programs of VIN’s Integrated Community Development Approach. The aim of the Children Development program is to protect children by providing them with access to basic quality education, developing their life skills and giving access to health services through the community health program. VIN has different projects in the Children Development program such as Children’s Clubs (CC), Early Childhood Development (ECD), the School Attendance Project (SAP) and Orphanages.

The activities under this work camp are teaching creative ideas to the children such as drawing, colouring & painting, arts & crafts, origami, singing, dancing, drama, music, hiking, teaching English, physical exercise, team building and much more.
