Make a HUGE difference! Life changing - Real Impact - Brighter future

About Project Vita:

We will have succeeded when we no longer have a job.

We have an easy metric to measure our success - we are successful when organizations such as Project Vita are no longer needed. Our core mission is to teach people the skills they need to become self-sufficient and prosperous. We do not aim to provide perpetual assistance, which creates a cycle of dependency and stops development in the world's poorest societies. Instead, we focus on connecting professionals from the West with those in the developing world to share their knowledge to affect change. We believe that building this foundational knowledge is the only way to create permanent solutions.

Our philosophy is simple: we give people a hand-up, not a handout.

We believe in finding innovative solutions to complex problems by using cheap, locally sourced, and sustainable materials and by working with our local partners we can improve the living standards. However, to achieve a truly sustainable future, we need to rethink how we aid those living in poverty. Instead of focusing on expensive and time-consuming projects mired in bureaucracy, we spend our resources on smaller, viable, and environmentally sustainable solutions. We can achieve this by directly hiring local workers, providing income, and massively reducing overhead. In addition, we use only locally available materials to ensure local communities can duplicate our results.
