Founded in early 2010 by Ashley Bulgarelli, VAF was formed to assist those people in the community who needed help and has subsequently grown to incorporate outlying areas. As a non-government organization, VAF does not receive any funding from the government, has no external backing or religious affiliations and runs entirely on donations and volunteers program fees.

Founder

About me, what can I say? I'm a man with a dream - a vision for a brighter future. I'm just a guy doing what I can. I arrived in Ghana in 2009 as a volunteer and since parting ways with that organization have found that I cannot leave these beautiful people behind. VAF is a result of the love and affection shown to me by the wonderful friends I have made, the children I have nurtured, and the families that have taken me as their own. I have travelled extensively around Ghana and through parts of Togo and Burkina Faso and I have fallen in love with this part of the world.

When you meet Alex you will know that you've made a honest friend. Alex has completed his studies at the Polytechnic in Ho." - Ashley Bulgarelli (Founder & Director)
