The Berlin-based non-profit Village Scribe Association e.V. was founded in 2012 to support Awarenet’s mission of providing digital education in Makhanda, South Africa. By leveraging Germany's public funding landscape alongside corporate and individual donations, the organization builds a bridge between Berlin and Makhanda. Because of Village Scribe’s non-profit (gemeinnützig) status, all donations made in Germany are tax-deductible and directly sustain Awarenet's daily work in empowering disadvantaged learners in Makhanda.

Village Scribe supports multi-cultural exchange and has also been part of Weltwärts. This program enables one-year stays for young adults from Germany in Global South countries while reciprocally enabling volunteers from partner countries to stay for NGOs in Germany. Village Scribe acquired highly motivated young individuals from Germany to work for Awarenet and supported them throughout their stay.
