The Learning Village is a community development resource center where children and adults, women and men can discover and develop their natural talents to free themselves from the bondages of poverty, disease, and harmful cultural traditions.

We are committed to creating sustainability through investment.  But primarily, The Learning Village is about investing in people:

• Children who are willing to walk three to four hours every day, five days a week, to get an education.
• Women who trek through mud and rain to learn job skills so that they can support their children and improve the quality of life for their families.
• Community leaders who endeavor to break the pattern of bondage through harmful traditions such as child abductions, forced marriages and female genital mutilations.
• Elderly men and women who experience the joy of reading and writing for the first time.
• Volunteers and supporters who are inspired to reach out across cultures, religions and geographic boundaries to help people from whom they expect nothing in return.
