What we do with profits:
The picture shows the community well in the village of Derou, Mali, paid for by One Village. This is one of seven village wells in Mali paid for by One Village and already installed. About five more wells are now in construction. The wells transform the lives of villagers in one of the world's most empoverished places.
Also in Mali, One Village has funded land regeneration in the poorest district of Yorosso.
These life-changing programmes are implemented by the local communities working with Joliba Trust.
