VERD undertakes interventions in Education, Health empowerment, Food security, environment, poverty alleviation, functional literacy, Gender and capacity building, livelihoods, vocational skills training, HIV/AIDS child health among others

The organization undertakes activities that can alleviate the plight of marginalized vulnerable underserved populations in Uganda. 
Our interventions are more anchored at the individual, household and community levels through direct support to the vulnerable populations themselves at individual level while at the same time assisting their equally vulnerable households and communities to stand on their own feet and recover.

Multiple actions help us to respond to the needs and problems of marginalized critically vulnerable underserved populations through various interventions and strategies to strengthen best practices that help our target beneficiaries to survive, learn, grow and thrive.
Our multiple action package of interventions aims to ensure that the vulnerable disadvantaged populations we target get their lives saved, transformed and become self-reliant as one way of breaking the cycle of critical vulnerability and poverty in the remote and hard to reach rural communities in Uganda. 

The multiplicity of actions gives VERD the advantage of varied response actions to varied problems that the target groups are experiencing. Allowing intervention diversity within the same project works for Volunteer Efforts for Rural development (VERD) because this multiplicity of actions has the advantage of varied response actions to varied problems. This gives an opportunity for a rounded response to uplift the targeted marginalized vulnerable groups while at the same time, the resources provided are carefully deployed.

This our approach promotes pro-poor vulnerable populations focus in rural development that translates into better standards of living by keeping their needs at the core to bring about long-term sustainable human development. This localized action leads to more effective and sustainable changes by encouraging target groups to develop their own solutions tailored to their own unique challenges.
