Village Inc. Africa

Empowering Sub-Saharan communities to determine their economic and social prosperity

2014 SEED Africa Award Lauréat-e Biodiversity Babati, Tanzania

The purpose of our enterprise is to improve the economic and social conditions of rural villages in Sub-Saharan Africa in the most effective, dignified and sustainable way.

VCs provide rural villages autonomy and empower them to acquire and fine-tune distinct skills around sustainable clusters of economic activity.

Members of the village community benefit from positive spin-offs of increased economic activities, such as job creation and an increase in income.

Village Company is only sustainable and successful in financing the social needs within the village if it actively engages in entrepreneurial activities.

The Village Company Macrocredit concept empowers the leadership in a village, reduces dependency on charitable organisations and fosters dignity.

Villages incorporate their own Village Company, a for-profit enterprise which is self-managed, scalable and self-fundable. It has three purposes: 1) Create and run for-profit businesses in their village, thus stimulating and developing a local economy. 2) Finance community-chosen social needs. 3) Repay the “macrocredit” used as working capital for the VC.

VCs are registered LLCs, with shares gradually transferred to the villagers. VCs are trained in governance and management under the key principles of business excellence, transparency and accountability.
