BUILDING A BRIGHTER FUTURE TOGETHER

Founded in Brooklyn, New York, It Takes a Village Africa Corporation (ITAVAC) began with a simple mission: to uplift communities through unity, education, and access. What started as grassroots support for families in West Africa has grown into a global movement—bridging the digital divide, promoting wellness, and empowering generations in both Africa and the diaspora. Our roots are deep, and our village keeps growing.

🌍👩🏽‍🌾 What if agriculture didn’t just feed us, but also taught us how to thrive? Through our agricultural programs, students are learning not just how to grow food, but how to think about systems, sustainability, and the future of our planet. We are helping youth understand the full cycle — from soil to market — and preparing them for careers in a growing, evolving field. By connecting them to the land, we help them discover their roots, their responsibility, and their role in shaping a healthier world. 🌐 Cultivate change with us: link in bio to donate and support! 💳 Or you can also donate via PayPal: https://paypal.me/EricaDavies #ITAVAV #SustainableFarming #UrbanAgriculture #ItTakesAVillageAfrica #ImpactThroughAction #GrowTogether

🌱🏥 True health begins before the first symptom — it starts with community, knowledge, and support. Our holistic health initiatives address physical, emotional, and social well-being by creating safe spaces, offering life-skills education, and promoting better living habits. We believe prevention and empowerment are key. That’s why we focus on traits like perseverance, negotiation, and forming social bonds. These are the unspoken tools of health that many communities never get to develop — until now. 🌐 Be the reason someone lives stronger: link in bio to donate and support! 💳 Or you can also donate via PayPal: https://paypal.me/EricaDavies #ITAVAV #HealthyVillages #WholePersonCare #ItTakesAVillageAfrica #DonateToday #ImpactThroughAction

We are building pathways to personal empowerment by increasing access to early childhood programs and creating technical and vocational education systems that reflect real market needs. With regional and international partners, we’re ensuring that every dollar is maximized to benefit students and create opportunities. Whether it’s a toddler learning their first words or a teen learning how to weld, every milestone is part of a larger story — one where education becomes the foundation of freedom. 🌐 Your support builds the future: link in bio to donate and support! 💳 Or you can also donate via PayPal: https://paypal.me/EricaDavies #ITAVAV #EarlyEducationMatters #VocationalTraining #ItTakesAVillageAfrica #EmpowerThroughLearning #DonateToday

🌾🌱 Imagine students learning not just from textbooks but from soil, seeds, and sustainable practices. That’s the power of our agricultural education programs — we’re reconnecting youth with the source of their food, their land, and their future. By introducing modern agricultural methods and responsible farming principles, we’re showing students how their daily choices affect the world. Agriculture becomes a pathway to sustainability, careers, and stewardship of the Earth.

🩺💬 Healthcare isn’t limited to hospitals or clinics — it begins in the home, the classroom, and the community. Our health initiatives aim to educate, equip, and empower individuals to care for themselves and those around them, especially during difficult times. From job insecurity to lack of access to nutritious food, many health issues are tied to broader inequalities. That’s why we focus on more than just treatment.
