About Our
Organization

Thinking Global. Planning and Building Local.

Civic Village International is a registered Canadian non-profit organization operating in Liberia, West Africa with a mission of reducing poverty, and regional inequalities and promoting social development through community-led development. We aim to provide community toilets with sanitation, access to clean water, and renewable energy. We also aim to build low-cost homes, schools, and community health centers in impoverished urban and small rural areas using locally available materials and carbon-neutral construction processes to foster sustainable development under the force of global climate change.

Our organization aims to promote eco-friendly development, sustainable agriculture practices, and non-farm-based business, skills, and trade development to facilitate green social enterprises and enhance communal autonomy and community-led development.

THE CURRENT REALITY

Secure Sustainable Housing

The majority of Africans live on less than $2 a day and cannot afford formal housing options. As a result, they are forced to live in informal settlements where living conditions are often poor and there is little to no access to basic services.

Sustainable Farming

About 20 percent of the population in Africa are undernourished, an increase of 57 million people since the COVID-19 pandemic began. More than a billion people are unable to afford a healthy diet.

Water, Sanitation and Hygiene

Over the past decades, 37 million more Africans were without basic drinking water and 247 million more were without basic sanitation. About 86% of those without water and 70% of those without sanitation live in rural areas.

Education

Over one-fifth of children between the ages of about 6 and 11 are out of school in Africa and one-third of youth between the ages of about 12 and 14. Almost 60% of youth between the ages of about 15 and 17 are not in school.

Improving Access to Clean Water, Sanitation and Hygiene
