About Us.

Vision For Motivation (VFM) is a community organization working for the betterment of Nepalese international students in Australia and connecting them to wider Australian Communities.

Every year more than half a million students come to Australia seeking higher education and quality lifestyle. Nepalese students alone constitute to be the third largest in terms of numbers. Even though being a majority, the needs of international Nepalese students are seldom addressed or discussed upon. Everyday students are facing serious problems like unemployment, depression, work exploitation, accommodation issues, sexual abuse and so on.

In order to address these problems and be the voice of Nepalese International students VFM was established. It was inaugurated by founder Mr. Mahesh Prasai and group of 12 enthusiastic Nepalese International students.

VFM has continuously been working to foster student welfare; enhance racial, cultural and social prosperity of international Nepalese students in Australia. Our goal is to help Nepalese students realise their full potential and help them excel in the field of their interest and eventually mobilise their knowledge, skills, and resources for the betterment of the community.
