Join the HERD
The H.E.R.D. (Helping Empower Rural Development) is a passionate and determined group of monthly givers who are committed to VIP’s mission to end the cycle of extreme poverty in Malawi.
Monthly giving is the most effective way to transform lives and make a lasting impact in the most remote villages. Consistent monthly gifts help plan for future projects, which means your contributions do more to help vulnerable families and children. Your gifts will provide long-term solutions villages to lift themselves out of extreme poverty and become self-sufficient. As part of the HERD, you’ll witness the power of your gifts through the most up-to-date email updates.
All gifts, no matter how small, will make a big difference in the lives of our village partners.
