My Nonprofit Reviews

Village Link is a great example of grassroots development based on community needs. It takes a holistic approach that includes education, health care, sustainable energy, etc., and has been sufficiently flexible to adapt to needs as they've changed over time. From its inception, it has encouraged and allowed community members to set the agenda and continually strives to ensure that local people are poised to manage the organization's activities, now and well into the future. While the program is focused in one area of Sierra Leone, it is a model that has the potential for replicating well beyond its current locations.
