Supporting our Children

 VGP 1810 seeks to improve access to education so that children can have a better future, allowing each of our members to have the privilege of sponsoring a child to this end, VGP 1810 has given an undertaking to donate 2% of each subscription to a disadvantaged child so that he or she can have a better education. The money will be used to support them during the primary cycle, with the purchase of school materials.

Support Local

While VGP 1810 brings fresh life to the Southeast’s past, the village also aims to include local inhabitants in the project by involving craftsmen, fishermen and traders in the life of VGP 1810.
