It seems pretty clear that the original article, full of puffery and NGO advocacy, has been created almost entirely from the organization's own POV by an editor with a conflict of interest. I have tried to clean up most of the worst problems, but the entire article needs more work from uninvolved interested editors to clean up this self-promotional NGO homepage and include more independent sources if available.

Please let me know if I can be of assistance in any way to having the page reinstated.

Page Rewrite
I have rewritten the article as it was inaccurate and had improper sourcing. Please note that I do work at Village Enterprise as I have stated in my user profile. In my rewrite, I have tried to be as impartial as possible, and I have submitted my draft for review through
Articles for Creation. I have also asked questions to a few editors on their talk pages to try to ensure I am following all of Wikipedia's guidelines and protocols. Please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions about the rewrite, and thank you for your review.
