Mission

To partner with communities in rural Africa as they develop sustainable solutions to overcome the challenges of poverty and HIV/AIDS.

Core Values

We believe that in order for our programs to be effective and sustainable, they must involve the full and active participation of the Rabuor community at every level of planning, implementation and evaluation. We exist because of the efforts of local people towards making a difference in their community, and all of our activities are designed to support and honor those efforts.

Village by Village

The concept of Village by Village is a driving force behind everything that the Rabuor Village Project does. While the work of the project has so far benefited the people of Rabuor Village and several surrounding communities, the long term vision of RVP goes far beyond reaching out to a handful of villages. It is our hope that our project now underway in Rabuor may be used as a model that can be replicated in a number of similar settings. Read more...
