Will you stand with them? As an individual donor, your gift alone will help bring an entire village to freedom—forever.
Schools Built
Each school is a comprehensive program that educates children and works with adults to help them learn their rights and unite for freedom.
Children Educated
After 3 years of S4F education children are caught up to their grade level and transition to public school.
Coming to Freedom
It’s 3 years from start to freedom, V4F frontline advocates work in the village every day to provide on the ground guidance and training.
People Freed
The joy and the passion of freedom is contagious. Every person freed today means their future generations will own their destiny.

“Now I feel like I’ve been reborn because I can see I was dead while I was in slavery.”
You are someone who wants to take action NOW. You get things done. When you set your sights on a goal, watch out, because you WILL accomplish it. We can’t wait for you to meet your match:
The village that you’ll sponsor is ready to risk their lives and do the terrifying and grueling work of breaking free and rebuilding their lives. They have vowed to do whatever it takes so that their children don’t grow up in slavery.
When you stand beside them as a Sponsor, you’re not just a financial contributor—you’re an active participant and partner in helping them to freedom. Through in-depth quarterly reports, you’ll follow along with each step of the 3-year process—the thrilling, the horrifying, and the utterly inspiring. And you’ll see it all first hand (if you want to). Journey to meet the very villagers whom you are helping to reclaim their dignity as human beings.
Because of the built-in sustainability of the Schools4Freedom program, part of your legacy will also be that none of the villagers will ever fall prey to slavery again.
Each school costs $43,760, or less than $15,000 per year over 3 years, sponsoring an entire village of 120 people on average to free themselves from slavery and reach sustainable freedom. Within 3 years, every adult has a fair-wage job or has started their own business, and every child is in school. Freed villages are linked together so that they support each other when challenges arise. Many survivors become leaders in their communities and even run for office—and win.

When you look into the eyes of someone who is enslaved–they are dark, blank, hopeless. But when that woman, man, or child finally understands they can be free, in fact have a right to be free, a light goes on, hope is born, and the arc of the moral universe truly bends towards justice.

Often times, philanthropy can be a disconnected experience. You give. You feel good. The org feels good. Yet, you often never get to see the impact of you’re giving. Not so, with V4F! The reports we received allowed us to experience the lives we were changing, almost first hand! We were so inspired by the success of this program that we funded another school! Warning…FREEDOM is contagious!

To witness first hand, the profound and sustainable affect my contribution to V4F has made possible for an entire village of people is beyond anything I could have imagined. To say that it moves me to tears, that I am inspired and filled with gratitude, barely scrapes the surface. This Matters.

Seeing the difference from a village unknowing that freedom exists to one that is self- sufficient, is absolutely mind blowing. Children dancing and singing with pure joy and freedom to live brings me great joy. I don’t feel I have truly helped make these changes. The people of the villages helped themselves and each other. We support the work. Beautiful work!

Watching the adult villagers and their children morph from downtrodden faces and attitudes, to smiles and self-assurance, is one of the most amazing things to see in the world.
I highly recommend this program to anyone interested in helping the world be a better place while helping themselves become a better person.
