Village Aid has now formally become part of Self Help Africa (UK). This website is no longer being updated. Catch up on all of our news and events on the Self Help Africa website.

 

Following the merger of United Purpose and Self Help Africa, Village Aid – formerly a subsidiary of United Purpose – is now part of the Gorta Group, which  trades as  Self Help Africa.

In March 2025, it was agreed that Village Aid would continue to operate as a separate registered entity, with its subsidiary status transitioning from United Purpose to Self Help Africa UK, which is also part of the Gorta Group. Processes to formalise this change are currently underway.

We will now communicate as Self Help Africa and this website will no longer be updated.

The projects that Village Aid supporters have been assisting for many years will continue. They are an integral part of the broader programme of work to end poverty that Self Help Africa will undertake in the years to come. This work is more important than ever. Communities across Africa, who are least responsible for climate change, are feeling many of its worst effects.

Keep updated on all of our work over on the Self Help Africa website.
