Empower a Village

The pandemic hit India hard, and the most vulnerable rural communities need your help. What if you had the power to transform one village? Join our “Empower a Village” Fund to provide access to clean water, decent housing, reliable medical care, and more.

Everything is Connected

A house deeded to a woman provides a safe and healthy living space for her and her family, raising her status in the community as well. A gift to a hospital could build a mobility device for a person with a disability, helping them get a good-paying job. Everything is connected, and when a village has the resources to address its challenges, everyone living there shares in the growth. That’s the beauty of the Empower a Village fund: when you give, there is no telling how far the ripples will spread.

How It Works

Our Promise: By selecting a particular giving level at EaV Fund, you are making a donation to the Vicente Ferrer Foundation (VFF) USA. We are dedicated to using your donation to provide select villages in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana with the best resources to achieve success. Rest assured that your donations will be used to provide assistance where it is needed most.

When you become a recurring donor to VFF USA, you make a powerful commitment to changing the lives of rural communities in India.

 

Education for Transformation

Education is the most essential tool to transform lives and overcome poverty. Your donation will help support children who are striving to learn. They need uniforms, safe transport to schools, and scholarships. Will you help give them a chance at a better future?

 

 

 

Women’s Empowerment

Women are the backbone of any community. Our programs provide women with professional training, microfinancing to open small businesses, counseling, and community support. Will you help give women the boost they need to improve their social and economic situation?

 

 

 

Rural Hospitals and Community Health

Health is the most precious gift we have, but healthcare is not accessible for many people in rural communities. Your donation will support three hospitals and 813 community health workers in hundreds of villages. Will you help bring healthcare to underprivileged communities?

 

 

 

Disability Inclusive Development

In rural India, people with disabilities often face stigma and neglect. We support programs which encompass social, economic, and medical rehabilitation, special and inclusive education, prosthetics, and job opportunities. Will you help people with disabilities provide for themselves and lead lives of dignity?

 

 

 

Sustainable Livelihoods

For farming families in India’s most drought-prone region, sustainable agriculture is crucial. Help us provide water harvesting systems, tree plantations, and cattle as alternative sources of income to support farmers’ livelihoods and the environment.

 

 

 

Community Infrastructure

Strong communities need strong foundations. Right now, a village in India is in desperate need of a water purification system, two villages need supplementary schools and community centers, and countless families need sturdy houses with sanitation. Will you help us raise the standard of living in these underprivileged communities?
