At VCF, we are not a corporate-based organization that targets underprivileged communities for the sake of branding. Our core values are centered around the basic needs of individuals, which include medical, shelter, education, last rites, and food. We believe that these core values are essential for supporting the spiritual development of individuals and providing opportunities for self-dependence. We are committed to being transparent with our financial dealings and adhering to strict accounting practices with any donations received.
We recognize the importance of financial planning among devotees and aim to provide support in this area. Many Hare Krishna devotees often face economic challenges due to their commitment to spiritual development, and it is our responsibility to support them through these challenges. By supporting the basic needs of individuals, we are able to take care of their spiritual development, which is a core part of our mission.
At VCF, we are committed to providing support and services to underprivileged Hare Krishna devotee kids. We believe that by supporting the basic needs of these children, we can help them achieve a better quality of life and provide opportunities for self-dependence. Therefore, our focus is on supporting the overall well-being of the individuals we serve, and we believe that this is an essential part of our mission as a charity organization. Read less
