Village Aide Program is now facilitating matching grants and in this roll can make sure that 'first world clubs' are matched with the right clubs in 'third world'

Currently working in central Philippines D3860. The idea is that we present as a shop for your Rotary club to visit, your club can let us know what type of program your particular club is interested in and we can facilitate. It is also encouraged to have your District donate District Designated Funds thereby increasing the amount of funds available from TRF.

We are currently supporting grants for schools, dry toilets, water collection and filtration for safe water, feeding and medication community needs, medical missions,hospitalization costs.

Interested Clubs or Districts can contact us on derek@vap.ph and we can arrange a grant for you.

All paperwork is arranged and clubs are kept up to date with the progress of the grant, plus Rotarians are encouraged to visit the grant site as volunteers.

It has an amazing effect when we join clubs and Districts together in grants.

Please visit our website www.vap.ph and see what we are up to.

Regards Derek Pyrah.
