Village Africa’s funding has enabled the renovation and construction of health and education facilities desperately needed by the community.
The work is now undertaken by our partner, Vyaadahikana Village Africa Tanzania, which has an African team of builders and carpenters, sometimes assisted by casual labour. It uses local materials wherever possible. Buying from the villagers creates a lot of employment for both men and women and boosts the local economy.
Village Africa has been funding building constantly since May 2006.
