The Consortium’s Aim

Our aim was to raise £33,000 to help Build Africa build and fully equip a school within 2 years.

Build Africa is one of Britain’s leading charities working with young people in rural areas of East Africa.

Their mission is to help young people in Africa escape poverty. Education and enterprise are key to breaking the poverty cycle, which is why their work focuses on providing quality education and business skills training. Together with local communities, Build Africa enables children to learn in safe, clean and well equipped schools and help young people to develop the skills they need to set up a business and provide for themselves and their families.

Young people are at the heart of everything Build Africa does. Working closely with staff in Kenya and Uganda they have set up, and continue to guide and develop, community based projects designed to have a lasting impact. The key to their success is the high level of community consultation and participation involved with their work, as well as building relationships with local authorities and agencies which can help them achieve their goals.

Build Africa are a small, dynamic charity committed to a vision of a successful, economically self-sufficient Africa. They hold themselves accountable to the communities they support and to their donors in the UK.

We were delighted to help them in their mission.
