Build Africa is an award winning charity with 35 years of experience working in international development. For the rural communities we work with, education and livelihoods are key priorities, and we therefore aim to improve the quality of education children receive and increase the ability of families to secure a sustainable livelihood.
Our education programme supports rural Kenyan and Ugandan children throughout their entire learning journey, from pre-primary and primary education into secondary school and into the working world. Our livelihoods programme complements this by working with adults to make sure they can earn a decent living, feed their families and support their children’s education.
