What is the impact of the VEF program?
We’ve conducted longitudinal studies to assess the impact we’ve had on program participants and their families and communities. Survey data shows that the average business owner is 33 to 35 years old with 5 to 8 dependents (spouses, children, parents, orphans.) With at least 5 owners per group, the typical number of people benefiting from each VEF business is 25.
