The organization has undertaken a variety of projects designed to have initial investment with lasting, sustainable benefits. Project examples include funding fish ponds and livestock startups (such as goats, chickens, etc). These projects provide both nutritional food sources as well as ongoing income. Other infrastructure projects have included funds for a village block building machine, construction of outhouses and sanitation improvement in many villages, and water storage facilities. Other examples include sewing classes and provision of sewing machines for home use and developing business use. VHP has also funded literacy classes, giving villagers the ability to read and increasing their options for employment, as well as increasing overall confidence and well-being.The decision regarding the type of projects for any given village is the result of meetings between the VHP Coordinator and village leaders to discuss what the organization can do to most effectively help the village community. The project is proposed to Village Hope Partnership and is done with the consent of the village. In this manor, VHP has helped hundreds of villages, and is aiming for projects improving conditions in at least 10% (approximately 400) of the rural village communities in Nepal. 5415 Education and Vocational TrainingAt the request of village leaders, the Foundation provided teachers to teach literacy and job skills to give many people a better chance to provide for their families. The Foundation started several classes in literacy and classes in sewing. In the case of sewing, upon completing the training people are given their own sewing machine and supplies to start their own business or make clothes for themselves. The Foundation provided financial support for village children who had not been able to attend public school due to the lack of funds for supplies or proper clothing. 181995 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 1 0 true 0 false true OC false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 5 5 false true false false false false false true true false false true false false false false false false CA X X Bill Swackhamer 6505481039 700 S Claremont St Suite 223 San Mateo CA 94402 X Don Gielow President 12.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Janet Gielow Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Bill Swackhamer Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Lisa May Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Frank Vanderzwan Director 6.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 184908 184908 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 184908 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2100 2100 0 0 0 75 75 0 530 530 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Livestock 82445 82445 Building Materials and Supplie 79655 79655 Outside services 11590 10980 610 Educational Personnel 3915 3915 5329 5000 329 185639 181995 3644 0 48382 47651 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 48382 47651 0 0 X 34650 14375 13732 33276 48382 47651 48382 47651 -731 X false false false X 185494 146420 103759 187537 184908 808118 0 0 185494 146420 103759 187537 184908 808118 0 808118 608 215 567 -354 1036 0 0 809154 0.99870 0.99860 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED true Nepal 0 1 See Mission Statement See Program Services 181995 1 1 181995 181995 false false false false false false Part I, Line 2 - Grantmakers Explanation For Monitoring Use of Funds Outside US The organization receives an accounting for funds transferred to the agent in Nepal.
