Triage Without Borders
Want to join us in making a difference? We're raising money to benefit Village Health Works, and any donation will help make an impact.
Village Health Works' mission is to provide quality, compassionate health care in a dignified environment while also addressing the root causes of poverty, disease, violence, and neglect. The result is a crucial, community-driven effort to rebuild peace in a country still struggling from the trauma of prolonged civil war.
VHW takes a holistic approach to health, addressing food security, education, livelihood development, music, and the arts. Together, these efforts contribute to peace-building and community healing.
VHW's success has led to an ever-growing level of community involvement and demonstrates that the best way to achieve scalability is to harness community enthusiasm and sense of ownership.
VHW's staff is 98% Burundian. Their health, education, and agriculture programs are training grounds. In addition, they support economic cooperatives and skills training in construction and maintenance.
