Community Projects

One of the biggest challenges when faced with abject poverty is how to change the status of people when they have no access to money. With that in mind our Sustainable Community Projects were born!

Currently we have two projects underway with one in the pipe line. These are:

The market garden – a new project which we started at the beginning of the year is proving to be a valuable asset to the school producing fine, organic vegetables for the kid's lunch!
Adult Literacy Classes are set to start in New Year in hope of helping some of the villagers to learn the value of reading and writing
We are always looking at ways to aid self-help groups who are prepared to work hard, stick to the plan and who need a minimum of start-up capital.

The market garden

The Market Garden in its infancy but growing all the time!

KKK

Picnic Set designed and made by the KKK Sewing Co-operative

Kanga & Kikoy Kompany... or the KKK!

One of our most successful Community Projects has been the formation of the Sewing Cooperative. Started at the suggestion from two of our supporters, they are now producing a high quality, unusual range of gift, dining and kitchen products made from the local kanga and kikoy materials. All the profits from the cooperative are ploughed back into the feeding programme at the school and some members are guardians to our pupils.

We sell at many craft fairs throughout the year, with several coming up over the Christmas period. Watch the website for details of where and when! Any queries please contact me on carol@vipingovillagefund.org
