Two things that bring me great joy are supporting women and the spirit of giving,” “With the return of ‘Archetypes,’ Archewell Foundation and VING have come together to create the perfect combination of these loves.” – Meghan Markle Duchess of Sussex
Duchess Meghan Markle and Prince Harry announced their Archewell Foundation is teaming up with the VING Project. The purpose of the partnership is to give 1 million to inspiring women who have “defied life’s hardships plus inspiring teens to give back and promote compassion in community.
The VING Project was established to enable Teenagers to have the opportunity to contribute $1,000 to a person in need of their choice via this organization. If they’re chosen, the nominator will be able to give the woman a $1,000 grant to help them further their goals. This experience will change the teens lives forever.
Meghan and Harry believe that compassion is the defining cultural force of the 21st century, and through their work they support a growing community of partner organizations fueling systemic cultural change. At Archewell Foundation, they listen to people and their communities, help them tell their stories, put real action behind words, and spotlight a new generation of leadership.
Teens learn philanthropy via Ving Project
The VING Project, whose name is derived from the second half of the word “giving,” has been entirely sponsored by a family in Chicago who has the goal of encouraging young people to experience the pleasure that comes from giving.
The only thing the teenagers are needed to do is go to the website of the VING Project and post a video of themselves answering the question, “If you had $1,000 to offer to a person in need, who would you give it to and why?” with a time limit of no more than one minute. Selected teens will be asked to join the organization formally.

Making the world a better place!
We all dream about a world where every human being gets equal rights. We want a world in which everyone should get the chance to fulfill the necessities of life. We all want a world where we can live peacefully with fellow human beings. VING Project is turning this dream into reality!
Giving children an opportunity to help those in need formulate a sense of responsibility in them. They start to think that it is their responsibility to help fellow humans. And at this moment, all we need are good human beings who can feel the pain of others.
That is what VING Project is doing. They are raising responsible and kind-hearted citizens. There is no better job than this!
The Ving Project is a global initiative that aims to improve the lives of people living in poverty or any other problem. The project will also help to empower the underdeveloped and economically suppressed class. Students join the platform and get to choose 1 individual they give $1000. These teenagers will learn to help other deserving community members throughout their lives.
It has a profound impact on the way we think about and approach social issues. By providing a platform to share stories with the world, the project has given voice to those who might not otherwise be heard. In doing so, it has helped to create a more just and equitable world. In addition, the Ving Project will help to protect facilities for communities in need.

The Duke and Duchess have been in the giving world since they were children. Between the ages of 13-17, Meghan Markle volunteered at a soup kitchen on Skid Row in Los Angeles.
‘I started working at a soup kitchen in Skid Row of Los Angeles when I was 13 years old, and the first day I felt really scared. I was young, and it was rough and raw down there, and though I was with a great volunteer group, I just felt overwhelmed,’ I remember one of my mentors Mrs. Maria Pollia told me that “life is about putting others’ needs above your own fears”. That has always stayed with me.’ – Meghan Markle

Empowering Children to Deliver Clean Water in Rwanda
As a Global Ambassador for World Vision in 2016, Meghan made a trip to Rwanda. She had the opportunity to witness firsthand the difference that access to clean water makes in the lives of African children and the places they call home.
In the course of her volunteer work for a good cause in Rwanda, Meghan paid a visit to the Kabeza Borehole. It was constructed in 2013 by World Vision, and it continues to provide clean water to one thousand people from communities in the surrounding area.
Meghan also traveled to the Mbandazi elementary school, which is a beneficiary of World Vision’s efforts to construct water wells and latrines for the school’s 1,600 children. As a fervent supporter of the cause of gender equality, Meghan was especially enthusiastic about raising awareness of the limited educational opportunities available to young women
“Having access to clean water in a community encourages young girls to continue their education because they don’t have to spend as much time each day traveling great distances to find water for their family,” Meghan Markle.
During her time at the Mbandazi elementary school, Meghan led a class in which pupils painted with watercolors using water drawn from a pipeline that had recently been built in their neighborhood.
“Taking water from one of the water sources in the community and using it with the children to paint drawings of what they wish to be when they grow up was an incredible experience,” said Meghan. “We took the water from one of the water sources in the town.” “I saw that water is not just a source of life for a community, but it can actually be a source for creative mind, and how lucky I am to have been a part of it.- Meghan Markle
After that, Meghan brought the paintings back to Canada with her so that she could tell the tales of the young artists at a unique World Water Day event called The Watercolor Project. Meghan empowered the children in Rwanda to become a part of the giving project as their paintings raised funds for other wells to be built. They learned a valuable lesson in giving and being empowered to be part of the solution and building their own communities.
