Story

I am raising money to support a charity that I have been involved with for over five years as training adviser and more recently a Trustee.  I am self funding the trip and every pound that is donated goes directly to Build it International to support the great work that they do.

Too many young people in Zambia are denied access to even the most basic education and training. With every day that passes, more and more of these young people fall through the cracks, destined to never achieve their full potential. We teach young, unemployed people to be builders through our Training into Work programme. Their new skills means they can find work, earn a living and provide for their families. They help us build new classrooms and health facilities, bringing essential services to some of Zambia's most disadvantaged communities.
