Vision Awake Africa for Development is a non-profit organization based at the Buduburam Refugee Settlement outside Accra, Ghana. VAAFD was founded in 2005 by Liberian refugees in Ghana with the purpose of bettering the lives of Liberians in both Ghana and Liberia. Its first project and biggest institution are the Carolyn A. Miller Schools which provides free education to over 750 children, many of whom are unaccompanied and orphaned minors. Its current programs are overseen by VAAFD's Board of Directors and administered and supported by Liberian refugees as well as international volunteers, donor and partner organizations.

Our goal is to form long-term partnerships with the community, donors, and volunteers to produce sustainable social, environmental and economic initiatives that result in the eradication of poverty.

Provide access to education for all Liberians. Develop health programs and conduct seminars to ensure healthy sexual and sanitation practices. Provide financial care and moral support for those orphaned by war. Improve water resources and access to water resources through better technology and practices. Empower the population to sustain themselves through business and microfinance projects. Improve agricultural processes. Work to build Liberia back into a safe, sustainable, and progressive country.
