It was founded in 2007 and continues to be run by a group of Nepali individuals whose goal in starting the organization was to help Nepali communities wanting and needing help.

With little funding but a big dream, VCD was started. Unlike many other volunteer organizations, VCD is not funded or backed by large international corporate organizations.

Volunteers can teach English, promote community awareness with regards to environmental and primary health issues, and income-generating activities and sanitation.
