Social Work

Nepal is one of the most beautiful countries in the world, but it is still a developing nation. Development has been slowed by internal unrest for the past ten years. Our population continues to grow but formal education has reached only 50% of the people. Cultivated agricultural land in this mountainous country is not expanding. People in the rural areas work small farms. Traditionally, the land has been divided among a family’s children aｎd at this time, many farms are exceedingly small.

The people of Nepal need education. They will especially benefit from education in 21st century technology. The traditional culture of small, remote farms means that in the countryside, the people do not have access to wage labor or business opportunities. These farm families do not have sufficient money to purchase the basic equipment of education – paper and pencils, notebooks, study materials, and acceptable clothing. At this time, typical families in the rural areas of Nepal have 4-8 children. If a family can afford to educate one or two children, the same family can rarely afford to educate all its children. In fact, there is too little incentive for parents or children to pursue education. Schools in the countryside are small and simple and too poorly furnished and equipped to be interesting, especially when many potential students would have to walk 2-3 hours to attend their local school.

Medical facilities are even rarer in the Nepalese countryside than educational facilities. Most citizens in rural areas have to walk 2-5 days to the district administrative center, the Bazar, for medical treatment. Development is very slow because the economy is poor.  Many international aid funds receive in government  but have not been properly delivered to designated projects.  Nepal Government administration corruption is main problem for Nepal developments. NGOs and INGOs organizations doing better for social people facilitating managements  & developments progress in Nepal.

This is our time for change. In 2008, the insurgency in Nepal ended. We have peace in our countryside. The political parties in Nepal have joined to write a new national constitution, a careful process that is expected to take two years.

Our organization’s primary focus is tourism, trekking and mountaineering. Much of our work is in rural communities so we see the needs for social services and economic development. Trekking and mountaineering take us to all parts of Nepal, from the eastern frontier to the western frontier, from Tibet in the north to India in the south. Trekking and mountaineering are seasonal activities, generally spring and autumn. We have time in the off-seasons, nearly six months of the year, to engage in social service work. The employees who guide trekkers and mountaineers are the same employees who perform social service work.

According to Nepal Government act, the NPO Nepal Volunteer Social Service registerd in 2009 year as a None-profit organization, Gov. Reg. No. 03/066/2009 & associate with Social Welfare Council No. 27804.   NPO Nepal VSS organization has realized its mission and recognized its opportunities to encourage and assist rural communities to make educational & health improvement & develop in the Himalayas of Nepal people. Some citizens in rural communities have basic needs - families with little land or poor crops, orphaned children, handicapped and disabled people. Finances are difficult. Our work won’t be easy, but we must work to support citizens in their efforts to develop healthy, sustainable communities. We believe that education will provide the foundation for positive development. Our purpose is to build programs to encourage and provide education in the remote, high Himalayan areas. Our teams will live and work as frugally as possible to maximize the value of donated funds.

NPO Nepal VSS will report all elements of our work to the government annually. And the Nepal Government has rules & regulations to get pay of Non Government Organization office room rent Taxes as annually.
