VPWA IS AN NGO PARTICIPANT OF UNITED NATIONS GLOBAL COMPACT

About Us‎ > ‎

Mission & Objectives

Mission

Our mission is to assist impoverished rural communities in West Africa with solutions-oriented projects that will help people to lift themselves out of poverty. We focus on empowering people, particularly young and disadvantaged groups, so that they can become agents of proactive change within their local communities. Volunteers from around the world support us to implement projects that provide education, training and engagement to local communities.

We place a special emphasis on assisting the women in these communities who have often not completed a full education. We empower these through our education, health, micro-finance and community development projects.

Our partners, whether they be volunteers, organisations, companies or institutions, share in our mission to better the lives of those within our reach. 

Objectives

 

Our objectives are aligned to the Millennium Development Goals (MDG's) initiated by the United Nations. These goals are to; 

  • reduce human poverty
  • foster democratic governance
  • promote sustainable education
  • reduce illiteracy
  • promote energy and environmental policies
  • strengthen resources to prevent and respond to crises
  • fight the spread of diseases such as HIV/AIDS and Malaria

 

Methodology

 

VPWA's activities are founded upon the belief that young people and disadvantaged groups can become agents of positive change. We therefore believe that our role is to equip these groups with the tools that they need to fight poverty and contribute to the welfare and sustainable development of their communities.
