Describing the work of professionals, President Bush noted," These men and women save babies from malaria on the continent of Africa. They bring modern information technology to Afghanistan. They live out one of America's strongest beliefs -- that to whom much is given, much is required."
The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) manages Volunteers for Prosperity (VFP) under authority of an Executive Order signed by President Bush on September 25, 2003.
Over the past five years, Volunteers for Prosperity has helped to mobilize more than 117,000 skilled Americans, through a network of nearly 300 leading U.S. companies and non-profit organizations, in assignments ranging from a few weeks to several months and longer, in order to help those in need throughout the developing world. During the past year alone, more than 43,000 doctors, teachers, engineers, and other skilled Americans served to address critical human needs abroad.
VFP is managed by USAID in cooperation with USA Freedom Corps, the White House office responsible for coordinating the U.S. government's national service programs such as, the Peace Corps and Citizen Corps.
