Welcome to Build IT International

A practical and sustainable response to poverty in Africa.

We are a UK based charity working in Africa to create job opportunities through building essential homes and community facilities such as classrooms and clinics.

Lives are already being changed for the better.

Take Alfred Muyabe, a builder from the small town of Fiwila in Zambia. He has worked with the local community to expand their school and provide 12 support jobs. For the first time his prospects are good. (click to find out more)

Our approach is to :

• Train local builders and communities in construction and business skills, thereby creating employment opportunities.
• Assist those we have trained to construct affordable, quality buildings such as schools, houses, water systems.
• Use simple, environmentally sound technologies and appropriate design.

The result of this approach is stronger communities, better buildings and the skills to earn a living in some of the poorest places in the world.

We need your support to expand our work. Our priority at present is to upgrade six community schools such as Mikumbila in Zambia.

Thank-you!
