Poverty Program
"It is a tragic mix-up when the US spends $500,000 for every enemy soldier killed, and only $53 annually on the victims of poverty." Martin Luther King, Jr.

- VOLUNTEERS FOR PEACE:
Founded in 1982, VFP is a non-profit membership organization. We do not have any political or religious agenda. We are partner to a large network of similar organizations worldwide. Our goal is to work toward a more peaceful world through the promotion of International Voluntary Service (IVS) projects, historically known as International Workcamps, and the exchange of volunteers. Through our international alliances, we work together to help communities meet local needs and some of the goals of the UN’s Millenium Goals.
- DONATE BREAST MILK TO NEWBORNS HERE AND OVERSEAS:
If you are a nursing mother, please consider donating breast milk to this organization. Donated breast milk is used here in the US for critically ill infants and is sent overseas for newborns of HIV mothers whose own breast milk may transmit the HIV virus. It doesn't cost anything: containers are sent directly to you, shipping is free and you will be contributing to the health of newborns around the world. For more information, visit www.breastmilkproject.org.
