Where We Work
Sub-Saharan Africa
Sub-Saharan Africa remains one of the world’s most challenging regions for economic development, with families facing a multitude of interrelated obstacles. Over 400 million people in the region live in extreme poverty, struggling to meet basic needs such as clean water, food, and healthcare. Limited access to safe drinking water and chronic food insecurity are pervasive issues that contribute to poor health outcomes and low productivity. Economically, many communities are hindered by reliance on volatile commodity exports, high levels of public debt, and an informal labor sector that offers little stability or security. Furthermore, persistent political instability, conflict, and frequent environmental shocks such as droughts and floods disrupt local economies and exacerbate poverty. The combined effect of these challenges leaves many families without the necessary resources and opportunities to break the cycle of poverty, underscoring the urgent need for sustainable development initiatives and targeted support programs.
It is for these reasons that VillageWorx is proud to partner with communities across sub‐Saharan Africa by implementing clean water and agricultural training programs designed to empower local families and build sustainable futures. Our initiatives span several vibrant regions where access to essential resources remains a critical challenge.
Zimbabwe
In Zimbabwe, our work is making a tangible difference in rural communities. In Bikita, a semi‐arid region where water scarcity and unpredictable weather jeopardize livelihoods, we provide Uzima water filters and hands‐on agricultural training that help families secure safe drinking water and improve crop resilience.
Over in Mutare, a city that serves as a gateway to the Eastern Highlands and a hub for regional trade, our programs focus on conservation farming techniques and water management to boost food security and economic growth.
Meanwhile, in Domboshava, a semi-urban area on the outskirts of Harare, we are working in partnership with Renewing Community to enhance access to clean water and teach sustainable agricultural practices that enable residents to overcome the challenges posed by limited resources.
South Africa
Our impact extends beyond Zimbabwe into South Africa, where, in partnership with Yenzokuhle Training & Development Group, we are equally committed to creating lasting change.
In Muldersdrift, a rural area celebrated for its scenic beauty yet facing infrastructural hurdles, VillageWorx is working to introduce innovative agricultural methods that help local farmers thrive despite environmental pressures.
In Mabalstad, our programs are focused on fostering community resilience. By equipping residents with the knowledge and tools needed to improve their farming practices, we are not only enhancing quality of life but also paving the way for long-term sustainable development.
