About Jim Powers
Executive Director and Co-Founder
Our journey began with a deep conviction that every human being deserves access to life's most basic necessities. This conviction was deeply personal for our founder, Jim Powers. Having volunteered for many years with various organizations and traveled around the world, Jim witnessed firsthand the stark challenges communities face due to the lack of clean water and food security, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. Moved by these experiences, he founded VillageWorx to empower those in need, breaking the cycle of poverty and fostering self-sufficiency, dignity, and hope.
Beyond Jim's personal experiences, VillageWorx was formed by a group of passionate individuals who, like him, were deeply moved by the daily struggles of families in sub-Saharan Africa. United by the belief that providing clean water and food security is key to breaking the cycle of poverty, we were inspired to create an organization that empowers communities to achieve sustainable futures. Today, VillageWorx stands as a testament to that collective commitment—a journey that began with one person's vision and grew into a shared passion to restore hope, dignity, and opportunity to the neediest among us.
