Welcome to Build a School, the award winning Campaign to build primary schools in the poorest and most rural districts of East Africa.

Build Africa has established small regional offices to help with the sustainable development of rural communities including the building of primary schools.

For the first time, thousands of children have the chance to go to schools thanks to our work – this website allows donors to follow the progress being made in their schools. 

Donations would be welcomed at all levels – whether you would like to back your own whole school from about £25,000, support our office in Africa, or help us purchase school equipment. For further information also visit
