Village Africa uses a 4-step funding approach in its education programme:
- Building classrooms and school toilets
- Providing desks, books, cupboards, sports equipment and school stationery
- Child sponsorship scheme for primary and secondary school, vocational and higher education students
- Community library in Yamba.
Village Africa’s funding has assisted four government primary schools (Yamba, Milingano, Kweulasi and Mkurumuzi) and one government secondary school (Mibukwe).
It ran a successful and popular teaching English volunteer programme from Sept 2006-Sept 2012 until changes in the immigration process. Those volunteers also transferred skills to the charity’s African staff, including managers, nurses, ambulance drivers, cooks and watchmen. They taught numerous skills including English, management, computing, administration, marketing, photography, nursing and first aid. This put the community in a stronger position to work towards alleviating poverty, despite the remote and difficult circumstances it still faces. On 2 May 2023 Vyaadahikana Village Africa Tanzania was registered as a Tanzanian NGO (Non-Government Organisation) to deliver the charitable activities, as Village Africa’s partner.
