We have a proven track record, with successful Village Tourism Enterprises in India and Ethiopia.
Working together with funding partners and the communities, we manage the planning and development of Village Tourism Enterprises - these are usually small guesthouses, though we have also built a houseboat in South India.
The communities own and manage the enterprises. They learn new skills and look after assets which will have value for them for many years. Find out more

We ensure that guest income supports, and does not replace, traditional income sources for the communities. Find out more

Melanie Ruston from Macao took a training on First Aid for the Peer Health Educators of Village Ways Charitable Trust during her visit to Supi.
Village Ways Charitable Trust joined hands with HER network program in 2014, to conduct a pilot health project at Supi village with the focus to empower women through health knowledge and link the village with adequate health amenities. As our 18 month long HER Network Health Project comes to an end, we present to you the lives of some of the women we have impact.
We are proud to announce that the Village Ways Charitable Trust bags and pouches, dexterously made by our artisans in Supi are now available on LOFT stores and website. Sharing this video by LOFT, starring our artisans from SUPI, whose products are becoming International Bestsellers.
We are working on capacity building of women and youth for sustaining livelihoods and elevating local handicrafts. A separate room for health is there at the centre where health trainings happen.
