What we do!

Build Africa is a dynamic charity working in rural Uganda and Kenya to help young people escape poverty through education and business enterprise.

Since 2004, our Build a School programme has worked with 88 schools and benefited over 100,000 children. We build classrooms, staff rooms, toilet blocks, water supplies and teachers' accommodation. We provide desks and books and teacher training. But most importantly we make sure that the local community leads each project. We train and support school management committees and work with parents to ensure that the children receive the best education possible now and in the future.

Build a Farm is an innovative approach that addresses the three key issues facing rural farmers: farming and business skills, finance, and access to markets. Build a Farm addresses poverty by unlocking the energy, creativity and drive of a whole generation of farmers.
