Vita is the Latin word for 'Life', reflecting Vita's focus on sustainable development.Our Work is focused on enabling rural communities to achieve sustainable livelihoods by enhancing access to food, water and renewable energy. We also create income generation opportunities for rural women based around vegetable production and building household assets (i.e. livestock and poultry).Vita leads the Irish Potato Coalition which is currently operating in seven sub Saharan countries and has the potential to transform the lives of more than four million potato farmers.A shining example of Vita's innovation is the Green Impact fund (www.GreenImpactFund.com), a next generation model of social investment which is reducing carbon while transforming the lives of over 200,000 people in East Africa. By working through partnerships in Ireland, Africa and beyond, Vita seeks to form new, mutually beneficial relationships with which to fight hunger and climate change.
