We at Project Volunteer Nepal (PVN) have the ambition to make a real difference. Our philosophy is the foundation that guides all our actions and helps us to fulfil Our Vision.
We believe in a world where people from different nations and backgrounds come together to support others in need — not for profit, but for humanity.
Unfortunately, many commercial volunteering organisations use poverty as a marketing tool. They promote “helping others” to attract paying volunteers, while most of the money never reaches those who actually need it. Their projects are rarely sustainable, because true improvement would make their business model obsolete. Some even stage artificial projects so that volunteers feel needed — even where help is not truly required.
Our philosophy is about making a difference
We want to be the opposite of that. At Project Volunteer Nepal, volunteers are placed only where they are genuinely needed and where their work can have a real impact.
Our philosophy is built upon five guiding principles:
Each of these five principles reflects our commitment to ethical, transparent, and effective volunteering. We invite you to explore each of them in detail to understand what responsible volunteering truly means to us.
