Build Africa

Charity Registration No. 298316

We want young people in rural Africa to have access to good education and earn a decent wage. We make this happen by building schools (walls, roofs, windows, chalk, footballs, training, toilets and even first aid kits), building businesses (helping to get young people set up with a winning business idea) and building farms. Every day we see that young people can do amazing things. Help more young people to be amazing. Visit www.build-africa.org. Build Africa was formerly known as International Care & Relief (ICR)

My story

Every day in a remote rural community in Kumi District, Uganda, 673 children and 10 teachers gather with little shade, few books, a single chair and only one desk but with a passion to learn. Their parents and the local community have worked hard and made considerable sacrifices to give them this opportunity. A walk of over 5km to school every day to be taught in the shade of amango tree was not good enough and so they embarked on an incredible journey which brought them to Build Africa's attention. Like parents throughout the world they want the best possible education for their children and we want to support them in their extraordinary mission. With your help we can help them to realise their dream of a decent school for their children!

For only £325 you could furnish an entire classroom with desks or for £5,300 you could even build a classroom! £565 would build a latrine and just £32 would provide one desk. Please help the parents and children of Malera Okouba by supporting our campaign!
