Our Mission: To undertake construction and social development projects that enrich the quality of life in communities worldwide.
We believe that all people deserve human rights, access to education and basic infrastructure. We believe the individuals have the will to improve the quality of life for themselves and their children. We support the sharing of information and resources between volunteers and international communities in the spirit of global partnership.
Video: VIDA board members and volunteers traveled to Ghana in 2010.
VIDA has since partnered with the community to complete many development projects in the future.
Our Vision: We aim to create and maintain meaningful, productive partnerships that result in projects that address the needs of the individual communities. We endeavor to take on as many projects as we have the funding and volunteers to successfully execute.
Our Method: We partner with developing communities in need and deploy volunteers to create sustainable, replicable solutions to poverty, hunger, access to education, gender inequality, child mortality, maternal health, disease, environmental sustainability, sanitation and economic development. VIDA aims to educate community members and to develop local leadership that will maintain and, if possible, repeat successful projects and programs after completion.
VIDA is a 501(c)3 non-profit humanitarian organization staffed entirely by volunteers.
