Village Aid Africa

Village Aid Africa

Village Aid is an international development charity that has been working successfully with rural organisations in West Africa since 1989. Working with 8 partner organisations in five West African countries we have a unique approach to development and believe that:
  • African people are best able to deal with their own problems
  • African communities should set the agenda for their own development
  • Small scale is often the right scale
  • People in the UK care about ending poverty in Africa and can show their commitment to this by supporting Village Aid

We invest in people – Africans who work towards a better future for their communities.

By making a monthly donation from your salary you can ensure that we can continue to support our partners – you\'ll make more of a difference than you can imagine.

Registered Charity No. 1067322

Which charities can I support?

Donations can be made to any national/local charity or recognised good cause such as schools and scout groups.

You might choose to donate to BT’s own charitable initiative, the BT Supporters’ Club, which seeks to transform the lives of young people through sport. Or you could choose to support one of our charity partners; Comic Relief, BBC Children in Need, ChildLine or Disasters Emergency Committee. Some people choose to support local causes like churches, hospices, schools or animal welfare schemes. Whatever charity you choose to support will receive more money through Payroll Giving than if you were to donate to them directly.

You can nominate more than one charity to benefit from your donations - and you can easily change the amount or nominated charities at any time.  If your chosen charity is not listed on this site you can still support them but please include the charity number so there is no delay in forwarding on your donation.  If there is a charity not listed that you would like to see here please email [email protected]
