How We Work

Our approach is based on an enduring collaborative partnership with the people of Sakata, Malawi.

We meet with villagers to understand their needs.

We mobilize support in the West to provide resources and expertise.

The entire village works with us to build a solution.

The project is completed and villagers take ownership of it.

The new project helps to lift the entire community.

The Six Critical Needs of Human Development

  • Water

  • Food Security

  • Education

  • Health Care

  • Infrastructure

  • Economic Development

The Power of VIP’s Approach

Commitment to Our Villages

We have a personal relationship with every one of our partner villages and will remain in those villages until they are on the path to sustainable development.

Our Values

Walking in the path of Jesus, we love our neighbor as ourselves.

Targeting Root Causes

We simultaneously address the six critical needs of human development to break the vicious cycle of extreme poverty.

A Hand up Not a Hand Out

VIP programs empower local communities to be part of the solution so that villagers are able to meet their own needs.

Local Leadership

Real change comes from the grassroots. That’s why 100% of our development staff in Malawi is Malawian.

Our Personal Connection

We are not distant benefactors, but true partners. Many of our supporters travel to Malawi to break bread with and work alongside our Malawian brothers and sisters.

  • A Medical Miracle – by Kaitlin Duncan

    This July, I returned to Malawi with VIP for my second medical trip. As a nursing student, I had experience with patients and hospitals, but never imagined a healthcare system like Malawi’s. When you don’t know where your next meal is coming from, it’s hard to fathom why you should care about a mosquito net […]
