Philosophy of Work
VaNGO's working philosophy is centered on building durable and sustainable partnerships. As a community-based NGO, VaNGO was established to collaborate closely with the Vaitupu Island Council (VIC) in implementing their activities.
​
We have observed that some projects fail due to a lack of sufficient manpower and capacity within NGOs to effectively implement them. To address this challenge, we have adopted a strategic approach: VaNGO secures funding and resources, while the VIC takes the lead in project implementation. This partnership ensures that projects are executed efficiently and effectively, leveraging the strengths of both parties for the benefit of the community.
