Venture Philanthropy Initiative (VPI)

Venture Philanthropy Initiative (VPI)

​The Rachel International Project targeted countries overseas provides training, technical assistance, and business support to women, girls and youth entrepreneurs.  The vision of VPI is to demonstrate how communities can use micro businesses and small holder farming to develop and sustain integrated food systems thereby enhancing food and nutrition security, income generation and stability, employment, and the overall community’s livelihood.
 
The mission is to use Micro Small and Medium Enterprise (MSME), Agriculture and Agripreneurship as vehicles for economic development targeting improvement in the lives of individuals in vulnerable communities.  This initiative is supported by our Global Development Ambassadors. You can become one and support this initiative.
