Vision, Mission & Strategy
Our Vision:
"A world in which all people in Africa enjoy a peaceful society, a prosperous economy, and a healthy environment"
Our Mission:
Village Aid is an international development charity that empowers disadvantaged people in Africa to improve their own lives.
Village Aid works with people in Africa to secure long term positive change in their lives. We achieve this by developing strong working relationships with local community based partners, supporting them to build their own capacity and to deliver grassroots programmes including: Education & Learning, Securing Livelihoods and Advocacy and Justice.
In the UK we empower schools to engage with global issues through drama and participatory learning.
