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.

Village2Village is a fundraising campaign that allows you to bring your “village” together to help another village break free from slavery and finally realize their human right to sustainable freedom.
Your team will fundraise, either as a team or individually, toward a goal of $43,760 (or less than $15,000 a year over three 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.
