Background

VSO has worked in Nepal since 1964, evolving our focus from service delivery in remote districts to our current approach of developing organizational, managerial, and civil society capacities to empower marginalized people and support to address poverty. One of our key strengths is our ability to work at the community level where the needs are the greatest, sharing skills and experience strategically with people and organizations with the potential to effectively contribute to development in Nepal. 

Through volunteering for development approach, VSO envisions a fair world for everyone, our unique mission is to bring people together to address marginalization and poverty. We embrace collaboration by empowering marginalized people to take charge of their own development, enable them to share knowledge and skills to create everlasting change and build partnerships that promote innovation and impact, we promote inclusion in all we do and lastly we are committed to integrating safeguarding, treating others equally whilst ensuring no harm, and zero tolerance to fraud.

VSO Nepal envisions a world where excluded and marginalized people including  people with disability (PWDs),  people living with HIV (PLWHIV), LGBTQI populations, adolescents, youth, prisoners, sex workers and drug users are empowered to exercise their  sexual, reproductive health and rights (SRHR) and enjoy healthier and safer lives.

We aim to achieve behavioral change and build confidence in young people, to create a supportive and enabling family and community environment, to build capacity of service providers working in the health system, and to influence positive policy responses that meet the needs of youth and adolescents through making the service providers more responsible and accountable towards their services and addressing the marginalized community needs through informed decision making process.
