We don't provide the solutions.
We help the community create their own.
Volunteer-powered. African-led. Lasting change.
We believe that permanent solutions are best arrived at when the community takes responsibility for solving their challenges by creating their own solutions, using the resources they have on hand. VCI equips communities and their leaders with principles and practices that empower vulnerable populations to thrive.
The results have been amazing.

VCI is 100% run by volunteers, so where does your money go?
Your donation doesn’t pay for administration or overhead - instead, it equips African volunteers with what they need to lead their communities toward lasting solutions.
At VCI, we believe real, lasting change can only come from within the community — not from outside solutions or temporary aid. That’s why we remain 100% volunteer-led, with no salaries and no foreign staff. Instead, your donation equips African volunteers with the tools they need to teach our self initiating programs (OPOS) in their local communities.
This means providing transportation so they can reach remote villages, communication devices so they can coordinate, and the essential resources that help them facilitate programs effectively. Every dollar goes directly to sparking change and keeping solutions in the hands of the people who live there.
Difficult Problem. Simple Solution.
Viable Community Initiatives began with a simple gathering called OPOS (Outcomes, Practices and Open Space).
OPOS Is a three-part community discussion that can last from a few hours to a few days. OPOS is not a seminar or training, it is a discussion managed by VCI facilitators, who guide community members through a series of topics. Every member of the local community is welcome to attend and guaranteed the chance to participate.
It’s such an easy to grasp tool that has just been waiting to be unleashed. Its potential is immense! People know they can do something for themselves in their communities. We believe Africa will not be the same again.
