At Every Village Matters, we are driven by a firm belief in the power of mutual cooperation as we work to alleviate poverty in rural communities of Sub-Saharan Africa. We will partner with deprived communities to provide basic social infrastructure and with the community members to offer opportunities for better education, skills training, and other targeted support to help them transform their lives.
We aim to promote sustainable development and well-being and reduce the challenges faced by the local people in living their daily lives. Together we can make our rural communities better and safer places where every individual gets a fair chance in life no matter their age or economic situation.
Every year in communities across rural Sub-Saharan Africa, due to poverty, social deprivation and other issues, many children are dropping out of school. More young people are idling away at home, hawking wares on the streets or forced to engage in criminal activities to fend for themselves. To help fight child poverty and deprivation, we are currently working in Amaimo to support vulnerable and marginalised children and young people to enrol into primary school or learn a trade through various projects…
Our Community Scholarship Programme
With our main objective of driving down the numbers of out-of-school-children in Sub-Saharan Africa always in focus, we're offering scholarships to some of the underprivileged children from very poor homes in Amaimo community.
We have enrolled 70 children from seven community schools into our Community Scholarship Programme and to ensure gender balancing, we aim to sponsor five boys and five girls from each school and pay their learning costs until they graduate into secondary school including tuition fees, text and exercise books, school uniforms, shoes and bags. In total, we plan to sponsor 420 children by 2009!
Only $610 can help keep ten children learning in each school for a whole year! If you would like to sponsor one or more of these children, we’ve provided all the information you will need on this easy-to-understand spreadsheet.
Whether you want to donate, volunteer or partner with Every Village Matters, there are different ways that you can make a real difference and we sincerely appreciate your interest!

Playgrounds are rare facilities in the villages. Every Village Matters is constructing a community playground to benefit not just the 420 pupils we will be sponsoring but all the children in the Amaimo community.
