"STARRY" HumAid Volunteering in Nepal (Individual Volunteering)
ASOCIACION BUILDING BRIDGES
VIN
KATHMANDU, Nepāla
Apraksts
Volunteers will carry out activities at the NaraTika Community Learning Center, a project by Volunteers Initiative Nepal (ViN), in Okhaldhunga.
Following the recent devastating floods in Nepal, volunteers will initially support ViN's relief and community recovery efforts, assisting affected and vulnerable communities according to local needs. As the situation stabilises, the focus will progressively shift towards ViN's long-term community empowerment activities (Child Protection & Development and Gender Equality - Women's Empowerment).
Because this is a post-disaster context, activities may be adapted over the course of the project to respond to the evolving priorities of the local communities, and volunteers should be prepared for flexibility in their daily tasks.
Activities will focus on children and women, life-skills and creative activities, educational support, women’s empowerment, digital literacy, basic English, community awareness and entrepreneurship initiatives.

Dalībnieka profils
We are seeking dynamic and motivated individuals who are passionate about education, community development, women's empowerment, youth leadership, and sustainability.
Volunteers should be open-minded, culturally sensitive and willing to work closely with local people.
Due to the recent floods, participants should be prepared to support affected communities and contribute to relief and recovery activities according to local needs. Empathy, flexibility, teamwork and the ability to adapt to changing circumstances are especially important.
Volunteers will also work with women and children through community-based activities focusing on child development, life skills, education, women’s empowerment, digital literacy and basic English. Previous experience in humanitarian aid, education, social work, community development or working with women and children is an advantage, but not required. Motivation and willingness to learn and contribute are what matter most.
