There are thousands who are in need of this surgery right now. Help us give them the needed help they deserve.

LIVING WATERS PROJECT

Lack of clean pipe-borne water is a major problem in most communities. Water-borne diseases are on the rise due to this problem. VCI’s Living Waters project provides pipe-borne bore-hole water supply systems in affected communities to help members of the community with essential life support and at the same time curb water-borne diseases. $4,000 will construct a clean water borehole which will benefit about 500 people.

FEMALE SANITARY PAD PROJECT

Thousands of young girls cannot afford sanitary pads every month. They are forced to stay away from school and other social activities every month. Some are compelled to use rags and other unsanitary measures, giving rise to health complications. VCI hopes to provide at least 1,000 females every year with these essential sanitary products. $1.50c will provide a girl with sanitary pads for a month. We can surely give these girls back their dignity.

LOVE KITCHEN

For thousands of families, a meal a day is a luxury they cannot afford. VCI- Love’s Kitchen project provides a hot meal once a week to disadvantaged communities. Just one free meal a week is a major blessing to so many families. $500 can give 500 children a hot meal once a week. Let us spread the love they dearly need.
