Our Mission

The mission of Village Network Africa (ViNA) is to improve quality of life for rural villagers suffering from poverty by providing resources to help them build healthy, productive and just communities, one village at a time. Guided by our respect for all people and the integrity of our actions, we build collaborative relationships with local individuals and groups to develop innovative, sustainable solutions for empowered, equitable communities.

ViNA envisions African villages without poverty and social injustice, where individuals enjoy enhanced human dignity through sustained positive health, social, and economic conditions. By creating an environment of hope and empowerment, village communities provide opportunities to retain and support their residents.
