80% of Africans live in rural communities. 70% of these are young people, most of whom will not complete primary school and can expect to earn less than $2 a day in later life. HIV/AIDS have ravaged families, leaving thousands of children orphaned at a young age. Many young people are ‘written off’ before their lives have properly started.
Build Africa believes that young people have essential qualities to bring to the fight against poverty.
We believe that every young person has the creativity, passion and determination to change the world around them.
And we believe that by supporting education and encouraging entrepreneurship, we can empower young people to realise their full potential.
That’s why we’re here. We want to unlock the potential of young people and work towards a vision of a world where every young person can make a difference.
Our mission is to empower disadvantaged young people with the knowledge, skills and resources to live life to the full.
We do this by:
- Supporting local organisations to run low cost, sustainable, replicable projects.
- Developing and sharing methods of working with young people.
- Acting as an advocate for the rights of disadvantaged young people in Africa.
- Raising funds to support young people in Africa.
