Extension Learning / Business Training

We work to answer the question: what can be done to harness would-be youth entrepreneurs’ potential and maximize their chances of success? When students see beyond their day-to-day environment and are exposed to the world of possibilities that await them, everything can change. Students at Village Impact school have opportunities to go on field trips and to student conferences and participate in residential summer camps that help young people build the mindset and skills they need to develop their businesses and lift themselves out of poverty.

Building & Resourcing Schools

Village Impact partners with vulnerable communities to build schools and classrooms. But this is only the beginning! We also resource the schools with essentials like desks and chalkboards, textbooks, science labs and school libraries, latrines, clean water and handwashing stations, electricity, kitchens, school gardens and teacher accommodations. We also hire counseling staff, who provide one-on-one and group counseling support sessions to students at many of our schools. All our projects are community-driven and, once completed, each school is community-owned and government-supported.

Professional Development

We believe that good teachers and principals make all the difference in student success. That’s why, with your help, we invest in continuing education for all our school staff. Teachers and principals decide what they need. We fund the training that best equips them (through seminars, workshops, conferences, mentorship and other activities) with the relevant, current and effective knowledge, skills, values and attitudes that promote academic excellence in teaching and learning. These activities improve teaching skills and ensure the better academic performance of our students.

Simply put, education and business training  create opportunities for children, their families and their communities to realize positive transformation—making it one of the most effective ways to break the cycle of poverty for the long term.
