Build Africa
Build Africa was founded in 1978 as part of International Christian Relief, and has nearly four decades’ experience of helping communities escape poverty. After becoming fully independent we directed our work away from aid relief and towards long-term development through community empowerment. Build Africa believes in the power of education to help end poverty. We work to give children the education they need and fight the inequalities that stand in their way, knowing that education has the power to transform a child’s life, give them a more prosperous and healthy future, and help their entire community beat poverty and inequality. Put simply, an education can change everything – so we work hard to give every child the opportunities they need and make sure that nothing stands in their way.

CRY supports young people diagnosed with potentially life-threatening cardiac conditions and offers bereavement support to families affected by YSCD. CRY promotes and develops heart screening programmes and funds medical research. CRY publishes and distributes medical information written by leading cardiologists for the general public.
