Around the globe, Village Earth is allying with communities that wish to determine their own futures.  Through our empowerment approach, Village Earth works with communities as they direct their own path of change and work toward a sustainable future.  Village Earth has allied with Lakota families on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota; the Shipibo Nation in Peru's Amazon Basin; tribal communities in West Bengal, India; Mayan communities in Guatemala; and disadvantaged neighborhoods in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.  Learn more about our community alliances around the world.

Because the scale of the world's crises are too big for our small network alone, we offer innovative training programs and consultation services in sustainable community-based development.  Through our partner organization, the International Institute for Sustainable
Development at Colorado State University, our field staff provide training courses to organizations, community-based groups, and individuals around the world.  We offer trainings in our community empowerment approach, mobilization and participation techniques,
appropriate technology, and organizational capacity building.  Learn more about our Community-based Development training programs.

As an international hub for community development resources, Village Earth has been a leading provider of Appropriate Technology resources throughout the world.  Our Appropriate Technology Library is now in use in over 74 countries worldwide.  One of the world's most cost-effective and compact sustainable living resources in the world--the Appropriate
Technology Library offers 1000s of do-it-yourself technologies to enhance community development efforts globally. We also offer comprehensive discounts for NGO's, community-based groups, and individuals living in GDP-poor countries so that this resource is reaching those that need it most.  Learn more about the Appropriate Technology Library.
