Our Impact

Baltimore, Maryland

The Troy E. Quinn Scholarship Fund is the inaugural educational initiative established by W3PV, Inc. in its efforts to support continued access to quality education at our Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). This scholarship program housed at Morgan State University in Baltimore, Maryland, designated a “National Treasure” by the National Trust for Historic Places, will assist deserving students to claim their rightful place on the continuum of higher education obtainment and economic impact. This fund provides gap scholarships for students that often times have a tuition balance of less than $500.

 

Guyana

The Central Mahaicony Children Fund is another global community outreach program sponsored by W3PV. The primary objective of this program is to provide a healthy school lunch for twenty-five (25) children attending the Mahaicony Primary and Secondary School.

The community of Central Mahaicony has approximately 300 households. Most households comprise of extended family or multigenerational families of which a significant percentage of them include school age children.  Unfortunately, Central Mahaicony is not an economically strong community and as a result many parents are often challenged with providing adequately meals for their children to attend school.

W3PV through its donors will augment the existing lunch program currently being offered by The Methodist Church in the Caribbean and the Americas, the Guyana District Conference, the Mahaica District.

Long term, it is our desire to increase the number of participants in the lunch program from 25 students to 35 students and extend the program from 3 days per week to 5 days per week. W3PV is a strong proponent of education and will assist with providing school supplies for students attending the Mahaicony Primary and Secondary School.

Jamaica

This is a joint effort between W3PV and The Mission Armada (TMA). TMA is the world’s first multi-sector experiential learning organization that provides comprehensive experiential learning experiences toaspiring STEM professionals and students. The idea was to create a diverse collaborative model through global and national service trips while mentoring and creating easier pathways for students to enter health careers. Before and after the trips, students have the opportunity to tap into an extensive network to find jobs, internships, and other opportunities. TMA’s mission is to provide students with the resources they need to help them achieve their professional goals or discover new opportunities throughout their educational journeys while transforming the most underserved communities in the world.

What separates TMA from other global learning organizations is that TMA works directly with leading professional educational institutions, private, government, and nonprofit sector organizations from the United States and abroad to bring students the standard for learning and professional growth experiences.

W3PV will serve as the fiscal agent for TMA and provide program management services for the mission in Jamaica.

Tanzania

Tanzania Project – Mental Health Awareness was established to assist Tap Elderly Women’s Wisdom for Youth (TEWWY) address the mental health crisis facing people living in communities of Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania. W3PV’s primary responsibility is to serve as the fiscal agent for TEWWY. In addition, W3PV will assist in bringing awareness of mental health challenges facing people.

The lack of access to mental health support in Tanzania has created a service shortage crisis. Some of the most vulnerable groups do not have the financial resources to access support as they face stigma, which contributes to overall poor mental health. With the support and endorsement of the Minister of Health.

TEWWY is collaborating with 15 Government Health Care Facilities [HCFs] to provide free mental health support services for all patients who opt-in.

 

Retired elderly women are being trained as Wellness Fellows [WFs] by a Muhimbili Hospital Clinical Psychologist & President of the Mental Health Association of Tanzania [MEHATA] to be able to deliver community mental health support services.

TEWWY’s WFs will connect with socially & economically vulnerable Tanzanians registered at the HCFs by offering SMS Counseling, Support Group Circles and SMS Mental Health Promotional Campaigns. Each of these services promotes positive mental health so that underserved communities increase their feelings of self-esteem, self-efficacy and sense of belonging. By promoting feelings of positive mental health, people are better equipped to improve their overall health and quality of life.

Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe Fund is another social cause and global initiative between W3PV and Apolostic Faith and Acts Church in Johannesburg, South Africa. This is a strategic and collaborative partnership that extends W3PV’s global reach as well as our visibility on the continent of Africa. Proceeds from this fund will be used to support The Place of Recovery (TPOR) Project. The primary goal of this project is to develop a much-needed hospital, educational center, and place of worship for the underserved community in Mbembesi, Zimbabwe.
