Hello! My name is Anna, and I am currently the Assistant for Communication and Development at VillageReach. I noticed that this page is outdated and does not include information on the current work of VillageReach. As I have a clear COI, I would like to start the collaborative process of updating this page through Edit Requests. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anna at VillageReach ( talk • contribs) 21:47, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
Hi All! As has been pointed out to me some of my recent changes have gone above and beyond what I initially intended - "small, uncontroversial edits." I would really appreciate if someone could review my recent changes to assure neutrality and going forward I'll outline any future edits here. Thanks for your help!

@ Anna at VillageReach: "Capacity Building" may have that implied meaning among those who are daily immersed in the non-profit or foreign aid world, but for the general public, "Capacity Building" has little or no meaning, which is why plain speaking is always preferred to industry jargon.

Hi everyone!
Here are some suggested edits to bring this article up to date and more in-line with the various comments on this talk page:
Introductory Section (VillageReach has expanded beyond vaccine delivery. Remove the confusing and out of date information on "private sector engagement"): VillageReach is a registered 501(c)(3) working in the area of health care access in remote rural areas in developing countries. It is headquartered in Seattle, Washington, in the United States with country offices in Malawi and Mozambique, Africa. The stated mission is "Save lives and improve health by increasing access to quality healthcare for the most underserved communities"
The programs section should either be completed or removed - I'm happy to provide further information for this section if need be.
Funding Section (simplify and add/fix citations): VillageReach funding comes from a combination of government, multi-lateral funders, and foundations. Funders include USAID [6], UNICEF [7], the Bill and Melina Gates Foundation [8], Skoll Foundation [9], Mulago Foundation [10], Vitol Foundation, and others [11].
External Reviews/Charity Navigator Section (Update Charity Navigator numbers to most recent): As of FYE 14, Charity Navigator has given VillageReach 4 out of 4 stars with an overall rating of 98.23 out of 100 [12].
Thanks in advance for your help! Anna at VillageReach ( talk) 19:05, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
