CVI seeks to provide employment to the residents of any community it works in.

CVI will give priority to employment opportunities to those parents with students in a CVI private Christian school.  CVI thinks that having parents pay partial or full tuition is the proper way to fund the school and instill a sense of ownership in the education of these parents’ children.  Also, CVI understands that the home environment is a critical component to the education and well being of any student in its school.  As such, CVI utilizes community residents as employees in its nursery programs, feeding programs and as assistant staff in the areas of administration and teacher assistants.

CVI is currently developing small to medium sized businesses in the communities that it works in.  This works very similar to any venture capital program where potential business opportunities are vetted, business plans are developed, and 5 year financial projections are clearly thought through.  CVI has partnered with Integra Ventures (www.integrausa.org) and is modeling the success that they have had in Eastern Europe.  

CVI seeks to raise an initial economic fund of $50,000 by December 31, 2008 for the Carmen Bajo Community.  To date, $11,000 has been raised.  CVI's partner in Ecuador, A&E, is currently developing appropriate business concepts with the goal to launch them beginning January 1, 2009.
