Our values

We couldn’t have the impact that we do today without trust with our partner SHUMAS, we have been working with them since we founded Building Schools for Africa in 2007. Trust sits at the heart of what we do and this is upheld by our values.

Transparency
Every penny received from our donors goes directly to the projects and is accounted for.

Optimism
We believe we can make a positive difference to the lives of children and communities where we work.

Pragmatism
We live in the real world and know that things don’t always go as planned. We adapt as situations evolve and make decisions based on achieving our goals.

Collaboration
We recognise that we can’t achieve our goals on our own. Working with others is critical if we want to have a positive impact.

Responsiveness
Needs within a community sometimes change and we’re able to respond to these new priorities.
