Support our work
Your gift helps fund household water systems, training and education support in rural Nepal. Donations currently support the charity’s work as a whole, rather than being assigned to an individual project.
Water security, practical food-growing skills, life-skills training and scholarships are the charity’s activity areas. Their descriptions and budgets show the kind of work we support; choosing a link from a program page does not earmark your donation.
CanadaHelps handles the donation form, payment and Canadian tax receipt. You will see our registered name, Friends of Volunteers Initiative Nepal (VIN), Canada, and business number 726232531RR0001.
Start with the water-tank case study to see how a defined project is organized through local partners. If you have questions about the charity or its work, we welcome an email before you donate.

2026 water project · Agreed budget
The project combines 4,000-litre rainwater storage with household treatment, hygiene education and garden support in five Okhaldhunga communities. This is the whole project budget, including associated support, not the price of tanks alone.
Read the water-tank case studyScholarships · Initial planning estimate
The initial plan sets aside an estimated C$340 in total to help two rural students with tuition and other education costs. Individual awards and the costs they cover depend on students’ circumstances; this is not a fixed annual price per student.
