Smart Villages is an organisation that believes people in remote villages in the Global South deserve the same opportunities as everyone else. Unfortunately, many existing rural development methods are failing to achieve sufficient impact, and often fail entirely.
With more than 12 years of global experience in this area, we have developed the ‘Smart Villages Approach’ to community development to overcome these challenges. In partnership with local partner organisations in the Global South, we are working with rural communities to implement our approach, and demonstrate the difference that an integrated community-centric model can achieve in creating a Smart Village. We implement technical development projects in communities across Africa and elsewhere, and innovate technology and business model solutions to support sustainable, community-focussed development impact for the long-term.
