'BAFFA 2027'

Charity Fundraising Ball - JUNE 11th 2026

This is our Official Black Tie Event to raise essential funds for our School Rebuild project in Rural Nepal.

BAFFA Nepal 2027

(We're travelling to Nepal in January 2027 to finalise the building work, clear the site, decorate and officially hand over at the opening ceremony)

A group of 13 colleagues from across the AkzoNobel / Dulux business including myself, have come together to rebuild a dilapidated four-block classroom building in Rural Nepal (Chitwan) with a view to increasing student enrolment and reduce drop out rates.

Currently children from Play Group Grd5 (175 Students)

This will ensure a more accessible and supportive learning environment and expanding the schools capacity to Grade 8 within 3 years.

This project will aid the educational opportunities for the children in this rural region of Nepal and give them the opportunities some of us take for granted.

*Currently the school is subjected to very poor conditions including leaking roofs, mud floors, damp, mold and cramped conditions
