About Build Africa
For over 40 years Build Africa has ensured vulnerable children in remote and rural communities of Kenya and Uganda get the right infrastructure, teaching and family support so they can get the most from their time at school and go on to lead productive, healthy and happy lives.
Build Africa's Education programme supports rural Kenyan and Ugandan children throughout their entire learning journey, from pre-primary and primary education to secondary school and then into the working world. The charity's livelihoods programme compliments this pledge by working with adults to make sure they can earn a decent living, feed their families and support their own children’s education. Having joined the Street Child family in 2019, Build Africa can now reach even more children and their families, not only in Kenya in Uganda but fourteen additional countries across Africa and Asia.
Learn More About Build Africa
Build Africa is working with vulnerable girls in Kwale, Kenya, to ensure that young women can start to feel safer, and that communities work together to support their education. They found that 83% of disadvantaged girls the charity worked with last year now demonstrate a higher level of self-worth, whilst 91% now see themselves as a positive role model. What makes Build Africa different, is that the charity's continued consultation process gives the people they work with a voice, and ensures that they can continue to directly identify their priorities, the problems they face, and the solutions that are needed. Build Africa takes time to understand the unique needs of each community they work with, and they aim to always maintain strong, ongoing relationships with the people they work with.
