Outsourcing Impact Award on Education (Silver)
VH Ministries
VH BPO SERVICES is defining a model for purpose-driven outsourcing with VH Ministries, a grassroots initiative rooted in faith, community partnership, and real-world impact throughout Rizal, Philippines.
Through VH Ministries, the company collaborates with local churches and volunteers to deliver programs in child welfare, environmental protection, disaster response, and digital empowerment. The initiative is unique for its blend of on-the-ground support and holistic development: empowering vulnerable children, leading environmental restoration campaigns, providing rapid disaster relief, and bridging the digital divide with targeted tech-for-community programs.
Over the last four years, VH Ministries has sustained a weekly feeding program supporting 200 children in vulnerable communities, maintained ongoing environmental campaigns, and ensured rapid disaster relief alongside local partners. From 2021 to 2025, VH BPO SERVICES has also created more than 100 full-time remote jobs, contributing over PHP 100 million (US$1.7 million) in worker remittances, demonstrating the strong link between business growth and social responsibility. Impact tracking is rigorous, with annual reports consolidating data from activity logs, beneficiary surveys, and direct community feedback to drive continuous improvement and transparency.
Founded in 2020, VH BPO SERVICES embedded community impact in its identity, launching VH Ministries to formalize and expand faith-driven outreach. By integrating with local churches, the model mobilizes grassroots leaders, amplifies cultural sensitivity, and ensures interventions are both trusted and responsive. The organization’s Impact Pods—employee-led volunteer teams—continue to scale outreach, digital literacy sessions, and inclusive hiring in new communities every year.
The program’s decentralized partnership model mobilizes churches and local leaders for rapid, culturally relevant response. Standout stories, such as Operations Manager Rhea (not her rea name) leading rural digital literacy and internal upskilling, showcase how team members are empowered to blend technical leadership with meaningful social purpose—lifting both community outcomes and employee development in tandem.
Rhea, once a quiet operations manager, discovered her passion by leading a tech-for-community Impact Pod. Guiding seniors on video calls and helping students gain digital skills opened a new career path—and helped bridge the gap for those most in need.
“I used to think I had to choose between leading in tech and serving with purpose. At VH, I learned I could do both,” Rhea now says as she mentors the next generation of changemakers.

Now in its third year, the OIR Awards recognize outsourcing companies that have made positive impacts in areas such as community building, education, diversity, and health.
Accompanying the OIR Awards is the comprehensive OIR Report that analyzes each outsourcing company’s impact initiatives and highlights how their projects are transforming lives and industries.
This two-pronged campaign comprises an OIR Awards event, which honors outstanding impact initiatives by outsourcing companies, and an OIR Report, encapsulating the compelling case stories behind these initiatives.
By documenting and acknowledging the far-reaching impacts and corporate social responsibility efforts of outsourcing companies, we aim to foster a broader, more nuanced understanding of the outsourcing landscape and its potential to drive positive change.
