Mission
Increase the access use of technology by all community
members for equitable information, resource accessibility,
economic development and sustained/empowered livelihoods.
OVF-Kenya is a promoting the creation of technology-based
social and economic empowerment resource hubs know
as Unity Centers, organizations, individuals and schools.
oneVillage Foundation encourages and facilitates the
empowerment of people with limited access to resources
to participate fully in their communities.
Principles:
The marginalized People especially women and the
youth with limited resource accessibility have the
right to maximum independence and participation in
all environments, without barriers.
Technology can be harnessed to diminish or eliminate
environmental barriers for the marginalized people.
Marginalized People and the poor in African villages
have the right to control and direct their own choices,
and the right to access the information they need
in order to make informed decisions according to their
goals and interests.
Poor People with limited access to resources have
the right to employ assistive technologies, strategies
for implementation, and necessary training support
to maximize their independence and productivity hence
ensuring sustained livelihoods.
