Our vision is to promote ecologically and socially sustainable economic growth in emerging markets. We plan to do this through a comprehensive and synergistic set of programs called the oneVillage Foundation Initiatives (OVI). We are moving towards the full scale implementation of OVI through Multipurpose Community (Unity) Centers by way of several smaller scale projects, which we are now currently developing.

We are currently focusing our effort on several countries Africa where we have established initial operations. Core focus areas include: Economic development and social entrepreneurship, health care and ICT augmented educational programs. This program also includes a plan to use ICT to build complementary relationships between developing and developed regions.
