Village Africa renovates and builds facilities needed by the community. These have included:
- school classrooms
- school toilets
- health post
- African staff accommodation
- overseas volunteers’ accommodation
- generator hut
- building material stores.
We use an African building team, sometimes assisted by casual labour and overseas volunteers. We use experienced builders, carpenters and tailors who are training apprentices. We use local materials wherever possible and buy these from the villagers, thus creating an economy within the villages. Village Africa has been building constantly since May 2006.
