VH USA's mission is to look despair in the face, refusing to give up until hope is restored in the most desperate communities. By embedding emergency and disaster relief in long-term integrated development programs, we empower people to recover from disaster and be better prepared for future emergencies, in addition to improving their ongoing standard of living.
