Our Values
Mission first
Mission First is about remembering the ‘why’; the need for Vibha and what it means to be a part of it. We are on a mission that is above any personal ambitions or feelings. We partner with each other to complement our skills and efforts and create meaningful change.
Respect and Care for all
We bring people together by consciously fostering a positive and inclusive environment where we welcome and respect diversity in thinking, heritages, traditions and experiences. We immensely value the time and effort of every person devoted to the cause.
Think simple, Think beyond,
Think solution
We strive to be effective and efficient in everything we do. We challenge the status quo; take smart risks and move forward. We re-imagine how things should be, and plan for the future. We have made it our purpose to focus on creating and delivering solutions that are scalable, sustainable and replicable.
Own it with Pride
What we do in Vibha, we do so with immense pride. We rise to the occasion, display full ownership and accountability, consistently utilize the freedom and responsibility we have in everything we do, to make the impact.
Build trust, Build relationship
We show integrity in our words and actions, and expect the best of intentions and efforts from one another. We build relationships for strength and longevity, and focus on doing the right thing with full transparency.
Vibha is not just a regular not for profit organization; we proudly claim that because we are one of the few organizations that is completely led by extremely driven and passionate volunteers. We are a group of like-minded, and self- motivated individuals who believe that children are the promise of a better tomorrow. If children do not have access to their right to be educated and being healthy, then we as a society fail as a whole.
We welcome volunteers from all walks of life who contribute their skills and efforts to develop social reform ideas that work at grassroots level to create impactful results. Through fundraising events, campaigns, and backing from our patrons, we support projects in India and the USA, to bring sustainable transformation in the lives of children living in adverse conditions. In fulfilling the dreams of these children, we believe, we will achieve ours.
Our Core Principle
We treasure our values that demand that every project we take under our wing
is scanned on the lines of our core principles:
To ensure that a ‘scalable, sustainable and replicable’ end result is achievable; and continue to extend the reach of our solutions with quick turnaround time.
To ensure that every project makes optimal use of the resources and funds available, to develop a community centered on innovative thinking.
The last conducted official Census of India (2011) says that almost 99 million children of school-going age have dropped out, and over 33 million of them are engaged in child labor. It was also found that over 20 million children under the age of 6 were severely malnourished; 4.5 million girl children were married – out of which over 3 million become a mother of two or more children before they turned 15.
Tackling the systemic issues behind these numbers takes concerted efforts focused on building solutions that are scalable, sustainable and replicable. One that brings all stakeholders – social entrepreneurs, volunteers, donors, government agencies, corporates and the local community firmly together for the future of our children.
This is where Vibha comes into the picture. Over the last 27 years, we have been able to identify, seed-fund and scale up several solutions that have created a large-scale social impact benefitting millions of children. What makes it even more remarkable is that all this has been made possible by sheer volunteer efforts – be it through organizing fundraisers, monitoring project investments, running awareness campaigns, forging corporate partnerships or mentoring social entrepreneurs on the ground.
This social-venture-catalyst mindset combined with the volunteer-driven approach ensures that Vibha’s efforts deliver the maximum return on investment (ROI), whether it is volunteer time or funds deployed.
