WHO WE
ARE
Vision for Asia, is driven by these goals; 1). to give the orphans, of India a loving family, a strong sense of self and the education and support to make a life of their own and be an important part in this world. 2).To provide a top notch English Speaking Education to the children of areas where school is not attainable. 3). Provide a safe and caring environment for homeless widows.
Vision for Asia began from the self sacrifice and love of a woman named Monica McCormick, who gave her life to mission work around the world.
What started out of the need for one orphanage in 2004 has grown to VFA building 5 orphan homes, with a 6th under construction, a pre-k to 10th grade school constructed in a very rural area giving opportunity to local children to receive an education, and an elder care program that provides necessary food and shelter for widows.
OUR
STAFF
Vision for Asia, is committed to investing our expertise and resources in order to further achieve our vision. Since 2000, we’ve been supporting our community members in a variety of ways and measuring our success not by size, but more by the impact we have achieved in the lives of those in we serve.
Vision for Asia has staff on two continents, the team who serve our orphans, students and widows in India, and our fund-raising team in the United States.
Our teams coordinate continuously, always looking toward providing highest quality and most efficient delivery of care to those we serve.
Just imagine what we can achieve together!
