About Onthefield Vision
Onthefield Vision is a trustworthy humanitarian organization fighting global poverty. We place special focus on working alongside poor women because, equipped with the proper resources, women have the power to help whole families and entire communities escape poverty because they are the majority. Women and children are at the heart of Onthefield Vision’s community-based efforts to improve basic and tertiary education, health, increase access to clean water and sanitation, expand economic opportunity and advocate for the welfare of prisoners. We operate without political, religious, racial and gender-based discrimination. Onthefield Vision is thus child’s ambassador in life and in addition the instrument itself of his life, of his survival, of his solace and well-being

Who We Are:
Onthefield Vision is dedicated to improving the lives of neglected women and children in remote communities all over the world. It has been our experience that humanitarian relief seldom reaches the distant areas or village members, yet sometimes they are the ones who need it most. We move people toward a new vision and enabling them with the skills and resources for a brighter future. For us, every individual counts, whether in an area of greater facilities and media coverage or not, we believe that ethnic communities around the world would benefit from being a part of the Onthefield Vision Charity.

What we do:
Onthefield Vision has several projects planned and in the process, we also work along side national and foreign Organizations to build safer communities for those affected in rural areas.

Through experience, planning and careful research, we identify areas where change can be made through a little sacrifice, great vision and hard work. We visit these areas and assess the local needs and we work with the people and other volunteers to build a more sustainable life and future, by providing necessary skills training, education and the required facilities.

We spend quality time with the children, playing with them, reading to them and interacting to learn better how and what their individuals needs are so we can customize a response that will meet their needs and help to build a strong foundation for the future of each child.

Through different activities we share with them such things as balloons, ice cream or something fun to show them we care greatly. Things that we so easily take for granted but to them it is like Christmas. At the end, when we are about to leave, they tug on us, their tiny arms wrap around our legs and their little hands pull at the bottom of our sweater, they beg us not to go, not to leave them, their smile becomes a reminder to us that what we sow into their lives means the world to them. They begin to ask and wonder when will they ever experience again the fun and love they enjoyed from the time we spent together, their eyes desperately communicating their desire to be loved, for 5 more minutes of our time, for one more hug or simply for a promise that we will return. For us it is one day out of our self consumed busy week, but for them it is a moment of hope, as they begin to feel valued and treasured from a simple thing such as a hug and the knowing that there is someone in this word that wants to be with them and wants to love them. We serve only through being who we are and that is often all it takes to make an impact so great.

Clinics
Providing medical care, thus benefiting the whole community. In most cases, when living on the outskirts, the distance and lack of transportation to major cities to receive the medical help makes it difficult to get the proper care. Here is where OVC endeavors to continue to expand in order to provide those in need with accessible care.

Weekly outreaches
That provides balanced meals, all day activities and educational opportunities. A fun filled day of getting to know the children and interacting with the community, thus providing an arena to better meet their needs.

Pre-schools
Yes, everyday in designated areas, OV is teaming up with others to fund and provide what is needed to help lay a foundation for a life and soul that loves to learn and also to provide meals and loving care in a fun activated environment.

Resources
In working and communicating with those in need or leaders of communities and partnering with like minded organizations, Onthefield Vision desires to customize programs and provide the resources to help whole communities and individuals to grow and become more self sustaining.

How we do it
The care that we give is directed in several different ways. Our efforts include raising funds through donations and gifts, which are then carefully distributed where the needs are most urgent.

We also have a program called Lending Hands where kind-hearted volunteers, like you, can visit a project and donate their time and talents in several ways for example, by teaching the local children, helping with a building project or volunteering at our Rehabilitation center.Each volunteer gains a personal experience with the children and families assisted and a real ability to change the lives of people that they would never ordinarily meet.

The Lending Hands Project enables you take part in restoring lives to those children who have been separated from their families due to circumstances beyond their control such as, poverty, disease or in some cases, war. We are consistently growing and we would like you to grow with us, register for a newsletter to find out more about our missions around the world and if you cannot come on location with the Lending Hands Project, then why not make a tax deductible donation right here on the web.

You can change the course of a child’s life by making a donation
contact us to discuss ways in which a regular tax deductible contribution from you can build a community for them.
