About Us
Who We Are
Abundant Village works where social need and environmental pressure overlap, focusing on communities that live within and alongside critical ecosystems.
We deliver education, healthcare, clean water and energy, local employment and food security.
Our approach is grounded in indigenous knowledge and practical design, creating women and youth leadership opportunities. We support communities to restore the ecosystems they depend on.
Everything we do links human progress with conservation outcomes, creating clear, measurable benefits for people and nature together.
Vision

Mission
Abundant Village partners with local communities to co-create solutions that protect the natural world.
Values
Have a good time and be nice to people and animals.
Abundant Village’s Alignment with Global Conservation and Development Priorities
Abundant Village’s community-led work across key ecosystems advances many of the world’s most urgent conservation and development goals. Our programs are intentionally designed to support major global frameworks shaping the future of people and the planet.

- The 30×30 Global Biodiversity Framework, through community conservation zones, Indigenous stewardship, and regenerative land and ocean management.
- The Protecting Our Planet Challenge, positioning our landscapes to attract and deploy large-scale biodiversity funding through community-first models.
- Agenda 2063, especially its 7th Aspiration and Goal 7, by strengthening environmentally resilient economies and ecosystems across Africa.
- The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, aligning with its targets on restoration, equitable benefit sharing, and Indigenous inclusion.
- UNDRIP, through our commitment to Indigenous knowledge, local leadership, and land tenure recognition.
- The Paris Agreement, by advancing climate-smart agriculture, blue carbon potential, and ecosystem-based adaptation.
- The UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, through hands-on restoration of forests, rangelands, reefs, and wetlands.
