TVS works in partnership with other organisations in the UK and South Africa.
UK Partners
TVS is a member of the SA-UK Trust Network and the Small International Development Charities Network.
We are also an associate member of the Quaker Africa Interest Group.
South Africa Partners
In the year 2000, TVS was welcomed into the Tyume Valley by leading members of the local community, Chief Justice Mabandla, and former headmistress Winnie Maneli.
Since then, we have worked with traditional authorities and with the West Amathole District Education Department to support the schools and communities in the Tyume Valley. Over the years we have forged links with the principals and teachers in Tyume schools and made good friends in our joint mission to improve the education of their children.
By working with local NGOs, businesses, and traditional authorities we aim to reach local communities and embed our experience and expertise in local organisations. In 2023 we took the first steps in setting up a South African registered Non-Profit Company to act as an implementation partner. The process has been a lengthy one which is still ongoing but we have successfully recruited local directors with lived experience to guide us and take joint responsibility for project management.
