Our Story
Founded in 2018, Build Africa emerged from a simple conviction: every child deserves a home, and every animal deserves compassion. What began as a small shelter in Nairobi has grown into a movement spanning East Africa.
Our Mission
To rebuild lives and restore hope for children and animals across Africa who have lost their homes and families through conflict, poverty, or disaster. We provide shelter, education, medical care, and a path to a brighter future.
Our Vision
An Africa where every child has a safe home, every animal is treated with dignity, and communities thrive together in harmony. We envision a continent where compassion bridges the gap between human and animal welfare.
