What We're About

One Village is about nurturing hope, restoring health by connecting resources to create a self-sustaining community...One Village at a Time.

Developing Communities by Empowering Women

One Village empowers women to develop self-sustaining businesses through micro-financing in partnership with The Kisumu Medical and Education Trust (K-Met).

Progress through Education

Education is crucial to all communities and is especially true among AIDS orphans. Sending the girls in these villages to secondary school is essential to the success of development.

Creating a Sustainable Model

One Village prides itself on creating and teaching a self-sustaining model throughout the villages. We want the villagers to be able to teach other villages to replicate the system to expand development.

Meet One Village at a Time

One Village At A Time is a nonprofit, nongovernment organization, which strives to create small, sustainable programs for AIDS orphans and their villages. These African villages are geographically isolated and have little or no access to existing NGO or government-sponsored programs. The programs revolve around creating the resources to feed, clothe, educate and nurture these children. One Village also creates programs to support the village as a whole by empowering the local leadership, church leadership, local businesses, and parents to support these children and their community.

Over Their Head

Remember Francis my driver? Despite the grenades going off when last I was in Kenya, he reassured me that El Shabbab was nothing. I can’t tell whether that was wishful thinking or meant to keep my tourist dollars over there. Today I read an extremely cogent article by Ken Menkhaus of enough project.org. His best [...]
